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.

Many of us see the ultraviolet (UV) index on weather reports and read about UV alerts at particular times of the day. But do you know what it actually means and how it affects you?
There are two main types of UV rays and both cause damage to skin cells. Ultraviolet light is a form of radiation invisible to the human eye. Ultraviolet wavelengths of sunlight are made up of UVB, which has shorter wavelengths and higher energy, and UVA, which has longer wavelengths and lower energy.
