hi hello hey, happy happy summer!

We hope you’re squeezing all the fun out of this summer because we sure are! Since it’s now officially summertime, we thought it would be the perfect time to talk about something important in our lives: sun care! Having albinism, we need to take extra care to protect our skin and eyes, but sun care is for everyone to stay healthy and prevent early aging. Put on your suns and listen to this fun, summer episode!

As always, don’t forget to reach out with any questions, comments, or fun sun pics to hello@rarewithflair.com!
