It's a hot one out there for a lot of us today so remember to take a water bottle with you, keep drinking and refill it when it's empty. Also avoid staying in direct sunlight for long periods of time wherever possible.

This is especially true if you're taking stimulant medications as these may dehydrate you, making you more susceptible to heat exhaustion and sunburn.

Refill can show you the locations of water fountains where you can refill your bottle for free.

Also wear Factor 50. As a pasty ginger I also wear UV blocking clothing or I'd spontaneously combust.

Yes! 30 may as well not exist.

Back in the day I had to get factor 50 on prescription from the doctor because it just wasn't a consumer product. The stuff was like white emulsion!
