Although they don't cause painful sunburns like UVB rays, the sun's UVA rays can't be felt and penetrate the skin to cause long term damage in the form of wrinkles and skin cancer (remember A for ageing and B for burns). These UVA rays can pass through light cloud or glass, so sitting by a window or driving in our cars exposes us to these harmful rays. Always have a good sun protection strategy which includes a good sunscreen and a shade device, such as a hat or a Joopy shade for your car.

Medical research in Western Australia has shown that workers who drive as part of their job are among the top 3 occupations most at risk from skin cancer. These drivers are exposed to high levels of UV radiation throughout the day and being inside the vehicle provides a false sense of security as the side windows offer little protection.Joopy Sun Shade adds an extra level of sun protection for driver workers!

In October each year, the UV index reaches the High level in the southern states, so we need to pay extra attention to our sun protective measures, such as sunscreen, hat and clothing, sunnies and staying in the shade. The highest UV levels occur between 10am and 2pm (11 to 3 during daylight saving time), and UV levels can still be high when the sun isn't shining!

It's time to put the winter coats away and get back into the great outdoors! Spring brings fresh new landscapes for us to explore and fun journeys with the family lie ahead. Happy travels!  

At this time of the year when the days are getting shorter, the sun shines right into your face through the side window just when we're driving home from work or down to the shops. But why let that stress you out at the end of a long day? Simply clip your Joopy shade to your door and, voila, instant relief!
