SKINIPEDIA - Skin Encyclopedia: Skin Protection from Sun
Protection from Sun protects you from damages like sunburns, aging or even skin cancer.
Summer
is
here!
Who doesn’t
want
to be outside,
sunbathing,
swimming,
playing
catch on
the
beach
or just
barbequing in the
backyard?
While
summer
means
fun
in
the
sun,
make sure
you’re
not
getting
too
much
of a good thing.
Avoid
consequences
of
overexposure to
the
sun
like sunburns,
premature
aging
of
the
skin, wrinkling,
and skin
cancer,
including melanoma by
practicing proper
sun protection.
• Clothing; be practical and
at least try
to wear
a T-shirt
or
a
beach
cover-up.
Keep
in mind
that
a
typical
T-shirt has
an SPF rating lower
than 15,
so
use other
types
of
protection as
well.
• Hats; wear
a
hat
with a
wide brim
to shade the
face,
head,
ears,
and neck.
• Sunglasses protect your eyes from UV rays and reduce the risk of cataracts. hey also protect the tender skin around your eyes from sun exposure. Wear sunglasses that wrap around and block as close to 100% of both UVA and UVB rays as possible. Sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays offer the best protection. Most sunglasses sold in the United States, regardless of cost, meet this standard.
• Shade; seek shade, especially during midday hours. You can reduce your risk of skin damage and skin cancer by seeking shade under an umbrella, tree, or other shelter before you need relief from the sun. Your best bet to protect your skin is to use sunscreen or wear protective clothing when you're exposed to sun.
•
Wear
clothing
to
protect exposed skin.
Loose-fitting long-sleeved shirts
and long
pants
made from
tightly
woven
fabric offer
the best
protection from
the sun's
UV
rays.
A
wet
T-shirt
offers
much less
UV protection
than a
dry
one.
Darker
colors
may
offer
more
protection
than
lighter
colors.

you're in the shade.
