Cover-up with sun protective clothing & accessories

Sun protective clothing allows us to spend more “safe” time in the sun. That is a good thing, because our basic instinct is to wear less clothing when it’s HOT: But we couldn’t be more WRONG.

Your skin is more protected by keeping your, body, arms, legs, feet, hands and head covered. Clothing is one of the best defenses you have to avoid overexposure to the sun.

Before you buy sun protective clothing, please consider the following factors:

1. Cost - Sun protection clothing usually costs a little more than regular clothing. Is it worth it? Compare the costs of bottles and bottles of sunscreen to that of one piece of clothing.

2. Use/Sun Exposure - How often will you use it? How many hours do you spend outside, near the water, on the beach, on a boat? (i.e. lifeguard, construction worker, fisherman).

3. Comfort - Will it be comfortable to wear?

4. Coverage - Does it have adequate skin coverage?

5. Fashion Will it go out of style quickly? Will I have to buy a new one every season?

6. Health - Do you have underlying health issues? (i.e. Family history, Lupus, Skin cancer, Sun allergies)

You should really consider buying sun protective apparel if any of these factors apply to you.
