My name is Diane Robinson.
61 year old, happy grandmother.
2 years ago I noticed a red spot below my neck. My GP checked it and froze it... twice. It reappeared and I became concerned. Biopsy returned with a diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma. It scared me. I have fairly extensive sun damaged skin from not being sun smart and I also not sun aware when I was younger.
Nowadays I am proactive with my sun protection. It's never too late. Since that day I searched for good protective and wearable clothing. Now every day I wear my 'uniform' consisting of a Solbaripolo shirt andlegionnaire hat. I have 3 tops which I rotate!
Knowing what I know now, I would wear sunscreen, long sleeves and sunscreen tops every day. As I do now. You only get one chance to look after your skin. Protect it. Australia is so aware of our damaging sun and thank you to Solbari for giving us a great variety of clothing to help minimise the effects.
Happy customer Diane.

This blog post compares the protection offered by normal clothes and UPF clothes in order to understand the importance of sun protective clothing.
Around 90% of all skin cancers are due to sun exposure. This blog outlines what happens to your skin when it is exposed to too much sun and the potential longer term health consequences of sun overexposure.
