Do you need sunscreen under your UPF clothing?

Why should you still wear sunscreen?

Even when wearing UPF clothing, it is essential to apply sunscreen to the exposed areas of your skin. Sunscreen provides an extra layer of protection and helps safeguard against any areas that may be missed by the clothing. It is especially important to apply sunscreen to your face, neck, ears, and hands, if not covered.

How to choose the right sunscreen?

When selecting a sunscreen to wear under UPF clothing, look for a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high SPF (Sun Protection Factor) rating. The SPF indicates the level of protection against UVB rays. Additionally, choose a sunscreen that is water-resistant and suitable for your skin type.

While UPF clothing provides excellent protection against the sun's harmful rays, it is still necessary to wear sunscreen on exposed areas of the skin. By combining UPF clothing with sunscreen, you can ensure comprehensive protection and reduce the risk of sunburn, skin damage, and skin cancer.
