Researchers have developed new fabrics

As sun worshiping baby boomers who grew up in Florida, we inflicted many years of unprotected sun exposure to our skin. As a result we are on first name basis with our Dermatologist! Sometimes I joke that myDoudoune Moncler Femme

husband pays his doctor's mortgage payment with all of his visits. Last year the doctor told us, "You just can't afford any more sun damage to your skin! "

Maybe you've heard similar scary words from your Doctor. Are you looking for a way to continue enjoying the outdoors without further damage to your skin? Is there an alternative to the messy, greasy sunscreen lotions that rub off, sweat off, and attract every bug in site? You bet there is! Sun protective clothing can literally become your life saver!

So just what is Sun Protective Clothing? Researchers have developed new fabrics with embedded compounds that give the clothing an inherent protective quality against the sun. These high tech fabrics can give clothes a SPF of anywhere from a low of 30 up to a high of SPF 100. There is now even a universal guide for labeling sun protective fabric -- the UPF value. On many clothes you will see a UPF value; this is the total Ultraviolet Protection Factor. This UPF value makes it easier for the consumer to compare the protective ability of one article of clothing to another. UPF, SPF it gets somewhat confusing. Just know that SPF is similar to the value you would see on a sun screen product, whereas UPF includes the fabric's ability to block out both the Ultraviolet Type A and B rays.

Sun protective clothing Doudoune Moncler Homme encompasses many things. You can guard your body from harmful ultraviolet rays by wearing large brimmed hats, preferably with flaps that hang down covering the back of your neck.

These are great if you surf or snorkel as they will also physically protect you from abrasions and "stinging creatures"! And of course don't forget to protect your eyes with 100% UVA/UVB blocking sunglasses.

Because of the years of abuse we inflicted on our skin, we have been forced to review sun protective clothing for our own use. We still enjoy the outdoors, biking, kayaking, snorkeling and all things beachy, but we do it wisely now. For years our solution was to lather up, with greasy, oily sunscreens. We used to think that SPF 15 was enough protection--now the drugstore shelves are full of high powered, chemical laden lotions with SPF as high as 70. But even these lotions if used improperly are ineffective to truly ward off the sun's damage. Most people apply sunscreen too late (when they are already sun burned), they put on too little (two tablespoons every 1-2 Monclerhours is the minimal application amount), or under the wrong conditions (when they are wet or sweaty).
