At nearly 33, I’ve spent most of my adulthood committed to staying out of the sun, due to concerns about skin damage and physical ageing. But after spending the past year in Australia, my relationship with the sun has started to transform…
It’s not something I’m particularly proud of, but the culture of spending time at the beach and embracing tan lines here has affected my psyche. Don’t get me wrong, they take sun protection very seriously in Australia – as do I, always wearing my best facial sunscreen and factor 50 religiously on my body – but my sun exposure has naturally increased because of this lifestyle.
