Stay Safe this coming Spring and Summer

Skin cancer is prevailant in the United States, and sadly, many people die from it each year. The best thing you can do is protect your skin with sunscreens ranging from SPF 15 or higher, and using broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection products.

"SunSoul sun-protective clothing achieves a 50+ Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) with a proprietary fabric that is extremely light-weight, breathable and durable. However unlike any other sun protection apparel line, SunSoul also uses the application of advanced fluorescent technology to offer safe and effective natural solutions to refine skin tone and texture as well as prevent sun-damage and blemishes."

"SunSoul blumöd is the newest activewear for all seasons that uses fluorescent compounds in the fabric to convert UV into beneficial blue light. Wearing the blumöd clothing in the sun only a few hours a week can improve the appearance of blemished, damaged skin."

"Those concerned with premature aging of the skin and who are dealing with thinning or thickening of the skin and "sun spots" are ideal candidates for SunSoul yelomöd. SunSoul's yelomöd transmits infrared light to the skin to help improve skin tone and texture."
