Then there are some dresses, a bit like what Guajiras use, but trendier if you want, where your hands come out only when you raise them, not getting sun directly when walking, say, on a street. Some of those clothes are actually cool in sunny climates. And then there must be also clothing the Australians (as they are particularly affected) have developed. As you can see from the second Wikilink, the US clothes should have some kind of certificate you should take a look at. Those things might be a wee bit more expensive, but they are worth it, it is about one's health.<BR/><BR/>KeplerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
