To sign "sunshine," start with your dominant hand raised high on your dominant side, with your fingers pinched together in an 'O' handshape. Bring your hand downward and slightly forward toward your face while simultaneously opening your fingers into a spread '5' handshape. This motion represents the sun shining its rays down on you.
Sign "love," "warm," and then "sunshine." When signing "sunshine," make sure to emphasize the opening of your hand to clearly show the rays of light spreading out and warming you.
Sign "today," "sunshine," "feel," and "good." The downward motion of the "sunshine" sign naturally flows into the space in front of your chest where you will sign "feel."
Sign "we," "need," "more," and "sunshine." Be sure to keep the starting position for "sunshine" high up above your head to accurately establish the sun's location in the sky.

They are very similar and sometimes used interchangeably. However, 'sun' often involves drawing a small circle in the air before opening the hand, whereas 'sunshine' focuses purely on the rays of light beaming downward.
The sign for 'sunshine' is typically signed using just your dominant hand. Your non-dominant hand can rest comfortably at your side while your dominant hand represents the sun high in the sky.
No, your hand does not touch your face. It simply moves downward from the high starting position toward your face or upper body, stopping in the air to show the light shining down on you.
