In my work we are constantly travelling around the world and often could be described as sun chasers as working on tour in golf, the tournaments have the better chance of completion without delay in warmer countries. I would say that when I am working, I am much more likely to be in the sun than I am on my down time.

Skin Health Series: Nina's Story
I have systemic lupus erythematosus, SLE for short. UV rays trigger an autoimmune response that can affect a huge variety of things, to include vital organs such as the heart, kidneys, lungs and brain, as well as skin. Externally you see a rash, known as a “butterfly” rash due to its shape, but the more dangerous issue from these flare-ups is internal organ damage caused by my body’s immune system thinking my own body is the enemy and attacking it. To help prevent flare-ups I have to take a variety of steps daily, and one of the most challenging things has been figuring out how to reduce UV exposure as much as humanly possible. It's harder than you think, too.
