Water, wind, heat, humidity, and altitude can decrease sunscreen's effectiveness. Studies have also shown most people apply sunscreen after sun exposure begins and may take up to one hour to apply it to their children. Since sunburn can occur within minutes, large quantities of sunscreen must be applied to all family members before going outside. Unfortunately the vast majority of us do not apply sunscreens early enough, frequently enough, or in the required amount. UVA exposure contributes to premature aging and wrinkles.
Sunscreen application is required to exposed skin only, saving sunscreen costs and application time.
Unlike sunscreens, UV protection from Sun Protective Clothing lasts all day. Perfect for day camps, outings at the beach or park, or just anytime in the sun. Unlike full body sunscreens the protection is not dependent on the amount applied, temperature, humidity, etc. Apply a thick coat of high quality sunscreen on all exposed skin before going outside and reapply after swimming and sweating. We think you will be amazed by how easy and effective it is to wear MasqueRays sun protective clothing.
