Headed somewhere sunny? Whether it’s a beach escape or a wellness retreat, one thing’s for sure—your skin needs protection. At SóL Visors, we design certified UPF 50+ visors that block over 99% of UVA and UVB rays, giving you reliable, stylish sun protection that travels as well as you do.
🧳 SóL Travel Tips from Someone Who Doesn’t Mess Around with Sun
☀️ Smart Sun Travel Starts with the UV Index ☀️
Before you pack, check the UV Index on your weather app. Just type in your destination and scroll down. Here's how to decode it:
-
UV 0–2: Low risk, but still wise to wear a visor if you’re sensitive
-
UV 3–5: Moderate risk, sun protection recommended
-
UV 6–7: High—best to limit sun exposure during peak hours
-
UV 8–10: Very high—sun protection is essential; seek shade, wear mineral SPF and a SóL Visor
-
UV 11+: Extreme—stay indoors when possible, and if you must be out, layer up, wear your SóL, and reapply mineral sunscreen
If it’s over UV 2, you technically need some form of protection—and with skin, prevention is always easier than repair.
✈️ Pack Like a Pro: Health-First Travel Essentials
SóL Visor – Easy to travel with. I clip mine to my carry-on for quick access once I land (or if the tarmac walk is extra sunny).
Compression Nanosocks – I never fly without them. They help improve circulation, reduce swelling, and lower the risk of DVT. Long flights slow blood flow, and compression socks support healthy circulation by gently pushing blood back toward the heart.
Refillable Water Bottle – Hydration is key, especially on flights. I avoid plastic and always bring a refillable bottle. Most airports now have water stations, and for destinations with questionable water quality, I recommend a Lifestraw or LARQ bottle to filter out bacteria, parasites, and microplastics.
Functional Wellness Fuel – I bring my own bone broth sachets, electrolytes, and protein from brands I trust (like Kroma I get the reset pack and bring how many I'll be needing for travel days.) It keeps me grounded and glowing no matter the time zone.
Pre-Flight Wellness Ritual
Before takeoff, I like to stop at ETERNA (or a spot that offers cryo, infrared sauna, or compression therapy). These help detox, boost circulation, and build internal resilience for travel stress. A couple Trimsculpt sessions don’t hurt either—especially if you’ve got a bikini moment coming.
🌞 Never Too Much Sun Protection
Sun protection isn’t optional—it’s essential. Think of your SóL Visor as your daily insurance plan for long-term skin health. Whether you’re walking cobblestone streets or lounging beachside, it moves with you, keeps you cool, and helps you glow (without the burn).
You bring the glow. SóL brings the shade.
Let your visor do the work—so you can focus on the view.
