Dress with sun safety in mind! βοΈ UPF 50+ sun protective clothing blocks about 98% of the sun's harmful UV rays which helps to protect your skin from sunburns, skin cancer, and premature signs of aging. It provides long-lasting sun protection and covers a large portion of your body. Plus, there's no need to reapply.
Here are dermatologists' top tips for what to wear:
1. Loose-fitting, tightly woven, lightweight, long-sleeved shirt and full-length pants. Choose dark or bright colors.
2. A wide-brimmed hat with a brim of 3 inches or greater, made from a dark, tightly woven fabric (not a loosely constructed straw hat with holes).
3. Choose oversized sunglasses or a wrap-around frame. Look for the UV 400 or "100% UV protection" label on the tag.
Of course, for complete sun protection, you also need to wear SPF 30+ broad spectrum sunscreen and seek shade. π©π»ββοΈ
