Polaroid Sunglasses

I just recently started to take this sun thing seriously. Working as a make up artist I have to look after my face and skin. But its more about the crows feet slowly creeping down my face!
Usually I just buy cheap trendy glasses that have no UV protection and frankly change the world to a brown hue.

I wanted some real sunglasses and aquired these beautiful Liberty glasses.

My first reaction when I put them on was that none of the colours had changed with the lenses, if anything they enhanced the colours and made them pleasurable to wear. They also look expensive and are perfect for covering the most amount of face possible for a hangover!

Our family have never been sunglass wearers. My mum has never worn sunglasses but she adored the Liberty style. She especially liked the fact that they don’t change the colours you are seeing due to their high UV protection and polarization. She liked them so much she has borrowed them to go on her 3 month trip round Russia! Hopefully I’ll get them back!!

Dulwich Mum - a blogger whose kids love their Polaroid Sunglasses

We’re said it before, but it’s definitely worth repeating. Kids’ eyes need sun protection too! So, when you’re slathering them with sun cream, don’t forget to hand them some Polaroid sunglasses.  This year’s range of kids’ sunglasses really gives you plenty of choice – whether you have a toddler or a style-wise mini-adult.

UV light can damage eyes and cause discomfort and for children, these concerns are even more important. Young eyes are more vulnerable to light because the cornea, lens and fluids are clearer and allow more light to enter the retina. According to the Eyecare Trust a Charity dedicated to raising awareness of eye health across the UK, up to 70% more UV light reaches the retina than would reach an adult eye. And, 80% of a lifetime’s UV is absorbed before a child hits his or her 18^th birthday. Those figures in themselves are a good argument for keeping kids’ sunglasses at the ready.

Darkened sunglasses don’t do the job alone. In fact, darkened lenses without a UV filter result in unprotected pupils getting even larger, so even more UV light enters the eye. Look for the European Standard CE mark or the British Standard BSEN 1836:2005. Polaroid sunglasses exceed those standards and block 100% of harmful UV rays.

Our friend Dulwich Mum is really enjoying her new Polaroid sunglasses and she’s determined to keep her kids’ eyes protected this summer.

Aviator sunglasses for classic style

Things used to be so different.

Men weren’t groomed, they were presentable. They didn’t dress up, they just got dressed. And they bought shoes and ties, not accessories. My how things have changed – and it’s a good thing too. Now men can try different styles without worrying they’re competing with women.  From quietly conservative to out there and over the top, there really are styles enough for every man.
