I have sun kissed regrets.

I have remedied the situation with rash guard redemption.

They say youth is wasted on the young and so is sunscreen.

If you, like me, thought a savage tan in your 20s was worth it and I definitely felt it was, but, sadly, later in life I am paying for it.

Firstly, SPF did not exist when I was growing up. We lathered on baby oil, used reflectors and lounged in the direct sun or played tennis for hours every day in summer.

The skin keeps the receipts. Freckles turn into sun spots, the cute bronze glow into an annual dermatologist visit and a very intimate connection with Mohs surgery.

But here’s the thing: while we cannot turn back time (thank you, Cher), we can outsmart it.

Enter the humble rash guard. One price. Full coverage. Zero excuses. It’s like an insurance policy for your epidermis with way better style options than the ones we had in the 20th century.

Best part is Amazon has great deals. Seriously. UV-blocking, quick-dry, not-hideous rash guards that will not break the bank.

So do it for yourself. Do it for your future self. Do it for your family who would rather not nag you about that suspicious spot.

I have purchased quite a few Daci and Relleciga one piece rash guard swim suits on Amazon. They run between $25-35 way less than JCrew and various department stores.

For those who still want a sexier look, fear not just buy the rash guard top and wear with a bikini bottom.

Remember, on Fancy Free Fridays, sun protection is the new sexy.
