Suncare / Travel
You've booked the flight. You've packed the linen. You've already decided you're going to become the kind of person who casually drinks wine at lunch.
But before you leave for Europe, there's something you should know: the sun there can be absolutely unhinged. Especially during summer.
The UV Is No Joke
Cities like Athens, Rome, Barcelona, Ibiza, and the South of France regularly see UV Index levels of 9, 10, and even 11 during peak season. For reference: a UV Index above 6 is already high, and above 8 is very high.
At a UV Index of 11, your skin is basically getting a group project it never signed up for.
The Vacation Trap
European vacations trick people. You're walking everywhere, sitting at outdoor cafes, exploring beach towns, taking boats, eating long lunches outside. It's exposure stacked on exposure stacked on exposure. And because it doesn't feel like you're "laying out," people underestimate how much sun they're actually getting.
That's why sunscreen becomes a personality trait on vacation. And it's also why we created REYS — because when you're spending 12 hours a day outside, your skin deserves a little backup.*
Your carry-on has room for another pair of sandals. It definitely has room for suncare.
