Vitamin D is important to maintain normal blood levels of calcium and phosphorus, helping to form and maintain strong bones.
*Sunshine is a significant source of vitamin D because UV rays from sunlight trigger vitamin D synthesis in the skin. Ten to fifteen minutes of sun exposure at least two times per week to the face, arms, hands, or back without sunscreen is usually sufficient to provide adequate vitamin D. * Resource
If you plan to have fun in the sun make sure you use the right protection, find a sunscreen that suits you and fake it for real colour. Here are some products we have tested:
