I'm a pretty massive advocate for wearing sun protection whenever you're going to be leaving the house, really, but when you're going to be spending the day outside it's doubly important. Protecting your skin is important for your immediate comfort - I've never met anyone who actually enjoys a sunburn - as well as for the appearance of your skin, since sun damage is incredibly hard to reverse and can prematurely age you. But the more important thing is that it's important for your health. I mean, we all know this by now, so there's no need for a sunscreen soap box.
