Not sure what the UVA and UVB radiation levels are exactly in Boquete, but they are pretty high at 8 degrees North and above 4000ft.
Optician informed me today that:
1. We both need to wear 100 % UVA/UVB sun glasses outside. Exposure will be less with high humidity as the water in the air absorbs UV.
2. Car glass windscreen may not be UV protective. Need to test with photo-sensitive lenses.
Always a challenge to find good ways of covering up: This trip, two gems:
- Neutrogena have a handbag or travel sized ultra sheer liquid daily sunblock it is an sp 70 and is pretty much invisible.
- bareMinerals have a mineral veil product with an SP25. Good paired with the above for super solid face protection.
A few more shopping days left - what else should I stock up with?
