There’s still plenty of summer left, which means if you’ve been skimping on your sun protection, it’s not too late to get up to speed. Sunscreen is always a must, but as Sonia Patel, a chief pharmacist of Capsule, explains, “Sunscreen has limits on its effectiveness against preventing sun damage, so people should avoid relying on it as their sole protection from sun exposure.” Patel turned us onto this sun hat from Coolibar that not only shields her face from rays, but is made with UPF fabric that actually helps block them from filtering through. Its UPF rating of 50-plus means that roughly one-50th of UV radiation will pass through the fabric, and the wide, floppy brim ensures your entire head and neck will be protected. The hat is on sale for nearly 50 percent off at Amazon right now, so we suggest snatching it up while it’s still hot (and hot out).
