Sun Protective Clothing is Free from Chemical Risk

Sun blocks are far better than sunscreen. Sunscreen needs to get observed by skin and we need to apply it half an hour prior before we go in front of sun. Its effect also remains for one to two hour only and we need to re-apply it often. Some skins are too sensitive to use sunscreen because they are unable to bear those harsh chemicals. With all these matters, we can say that sun blocks are better alternative than sunscreen.
 
With sun blocks, you don’t require to wait for absorption of harsh chemicals because Sun Protective Clothing is free from risky chemicals. Harmful toxins like oxybenzone and benzylidene are commonly used in sun protective products. But, sun protective clothing is made of tightly-woven fabrics that act as a protective layer and barrier between you and UV radiation. SPF ratings let’s you know about the UVB blocking abilities of sunscreen, while UPF ratings let’s you know about the UVA and UVB blocking abilities of sun protection clothing.

A higher rating means higher protection. UPF50+ is considered as the highest rating among sun protective clothing. This rating can block 98% UVA and UVB rays. SPF is a part of chemical and studies show that people who are using SPF in higher amounts are in high risk of melanoma. While UPF protection is completely free from chemicals. UPF is naturally contain by fabric material which shows that while making UPF based clothing, we don’t need to add any kind of chemical in order to make it sun protective. Similar to clothing, we can also avail the protection of accessories that contain UPF factor. UV Caps are popular among all accessories as it is easy to wear and offer long-term protection from sunlights.

Wide brimmed hats are popular among the community of sun protective hats. A normal hat can’t give you an overall protection for your head and skin as it has many open areas from where UV rays can enter in your skin pores. A wide brimmed hat with UPF rating and bright colour can easily cover your whole face and head and also block the rays to enter in your skin. UV caps can easily be worn in a few minutes and you can freely go anywhere you want at any time.
