Top 10 Parasols and UV Umbrellas
Top-Rated Parasols and UV Umbrellas For Blocking The Sun In Style
As we grow to be far more health conscious, the masses are waking up to the fact that umbrellas have far more usages than for the rain. Namely, they're excellent for sun protection. Manufacturers have taken note and are not designing umbrellas to be smart, functional tools that can protect our skin. In fact, several of the umbrellas that follow have built-in UV protection up to 99%. And if you don't necessarily want the extra UV coating, there are plenty of gorgeous options in the form of parasol pagoda umbrellas that cut a striking figure. You'll feel as though you've been transported to another time when you open these canopies and stroll down the street. Take a good look at the top parasols and umbrellas that follow; it's a wise choice to protect your skin with such a tool—especially on those days when the ozone layer is extra thin. It doesn't hurt to look good while doing it, either! Opening image: amazon.com
