Whether you are spending a relaxing day at the beach or enjoying an afternoon walk with friends, there’s something truly wonderful about feeling the warm embrace of the sun on your skin. However, in today's world, we're often reminded to be cautious of sun exposure by covering up with sunscreen and seeking shade. While concerns about the sun's potential harm to our skin are valid, it's crucial to also recognize its profound impact on our overall wellness.
