In the summer months, there's nothing I love more than a workout outside. Whether it's yoga in the park, a casual run around the block, swimming, hiking a new trail, or kicking the soccer ball around with friends, I'm all about moving and sweating in the great outdoors.
But as much as I thrive outside, I'm hyperaware of sun safety. I'm on top of my UV-protection game not only because it's a part of general skin and healthcare (although that is my number one motivation!), but also because I burn very easily and would rather not be in pain all summer long. Thankfully, there are a number of ways to keep harmful — and painful — rays from causing damage and ruining my summer vibes. Scope out the eight UV-ready items I'm adding to my shopping list this summer.
