Sun hat or sunscreen: which is better for sun protection?

Your Story Series: Meet Kayelene

I have had a few of skin cancers removed so far, on my chest and arms. I also have a chronic disease, Crohn's disease, and the medications I take for it increase my sun sensitivity.

Your Story Series: Meet Eve

I developed a bad sun reaction from the hot summer days last year walking across the large school oval during school pick up time. I went online and found Solbari, I am so relaxed now on hot days not having to worry about getting sun burnt.

I was diagnosed with mixed connective tissue disease when I was 17. I was told that I was allergic to the sun, this is part of the lupus symptoms I suffer from. It was one of the most sunniest years in the UK on record and I wasn't as careful as I should have been, and the sun contributed to a relapse in my condition.

I have very fair skin and auburn hair. I recall experiencing a couple of bad sunburns as a younger child and becoming more aware of sun protection from my late teens onwards. I think this was probably due to having a number of family members being diagnosed with melanoma.

Your Story Series: Meet Mel

My mum developed a skin cancer that was fortunately able to be removed successfully. I realised I had her skin type and needed to be careful. As a result, most of my skin is very youthful and healthy for my age.

Sun block and sun protection are second nature for me and have been for the last 20 years. I wear a hat, wear sunglasses, always cover my arms and wear sunscreen on my neck in particular. I've bought a few Solbari and other similar products lately that are making me more comfortable in the sun.

I'm born and bred in Queensland so have had plenty of sun since a young child. My attitude toward the sun now is very different. I'm always concerned about how much exposure I get. I'm conscious of always wearing a hat or umbrella as well as using sunscreen.

Your Story Series: Meet Anthea

I was diagnosed with malignant melanoma in July 2015. My attitude to sun protection today is extremely serious. I avoid the sun at its hottest times, and seek shade at each opportunity. I would tell my 16 year old self, that a tan is not healthy, it is a sign of damage to the largest organ in our body.

Your Story Series: Meet Lynn

I used to shun the outdoors. Today I am longer afraid of enjoying the outdoors as long as I have adequate sun protection. To me the Everyday Hat which is perfectly wide brimmed, and a breathable UPF50+ zip top from Solbari lets me enjoy the outdoors without fear of getting sun damage.

Your Story Series: Meet Gemma

Having been told when I was younger that I have skin that would easily develop skin cancer, I’m extremely cautious. I have a handy app which tells me the UV levels for the day and suggests the protection required. I find myself checking this throughout the day.

Your Story Series: Meet Cheryl

I’ve gotten much more proactive about sun safety in the last few years, since my daughter started nagging - I mean educating - me about it. I always wear my hat and sunnies when I’m out and about and I’ve started wearing sunscreen too and even using a sun umbrella on very sunny days. Not to mention my Solbari driving gloves to protect my hands while I chauffeur everyone around!

If most women retouch their make up every time, for me its retouching sunscreen and making sure that my body is protected against the sun. With Solbari clothing I have more time going outdoors because I don't have to put sunscreen on my body and worry about stains.

Your Story Series: Meet Debbie

If we new back then what we know now things would be a lot better. I would tell myself to always cover up and protect against the sun.

Your Story Series: Meet Cyndy

I've always loved the sun! I love the way it feels and the warmth it gives. Growing up blonde haired and with green eyes, I've always been at risk for this but back then who knew? Now I am the 'hat lady' around here who never goes out without one.

Your Story Series: Meet Alanna

Thankfully I grew up knowing the importance of sun protection and have always worn sunscreen. My mum has sun damage from routine sun exposure throughout her life so I learned that lesson early and always made sure to protect my skin.
