Tak Cuma dari Skincare, Perlindungan Kulit dari Sinar UV juga Berasal dari Pakaian

"Not Only from Skincare, Skin Protection from UV Rays also Comes from Clothing"

Dream - Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays without any protection can cause various skin problems. Starting from changes in skin color to cancer and premature aging. This can be prevented by using sunscreen regularly. Dream's friends cannot just use sunscreen before activities. This is because the effectiveness of sunscreen will continue to decrease as time goes on and skin moisture increases.

"Moreover, if you don't use it in sufficient amounts to protect your entire face, neck, and other parts of the body. If you don't want the hassle of reapplying sunscreen, try wearing clothing with specific criteria."

According to Dermatologist Yessica Tania, clothing has the ability to protect the skin from exposure to UV rays, also known as Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF). Each piece of clothing has a different level of UPF.

"All clothes have UPF depending on the type of material, color, and fit of the clothes we wear. For example, clothes made of cotton and light in color have a lower UPF than clothes made of polyester and dark in color."

Pay attention to Color, Type of Fabric, Thickness, and Technology.

Dark colors can absorb UV rays before they reach the surface of the skin. The same goes for some thick clothes. Some types of fabric can also block UV rays more effectively than others. Additionally, certain types of clothing are also treated with substances, technologies, or dyes to increase the UPF level.

"UPF Level"

Clothing with UPF 15 can block 93.3% of UV rays. Meanwhile, clothing with UPF 30 can protect against 96.7% of UV exposure. If you want more effective protection, wear clothing with UPF 50 to block 98% of UV rays.

Just like the use of sunscreen, clothing with UPF can also decrease and become ineffective if it gets wet, the color of the fabric fades, or if your clothes become loose or stretch.

How to Maintain UPF Levels

Actually, there is no special treatment to maintain UPF levels in clothing. However, the UPF derived from additional layers on clothing may not be effective when the layers fade or disappear. "There are some clothes that have UPF levels based on the nature of the fabric. For example, wool has thick and tightly woven fibers. If it stretches, the UPF level may decrease."

Therefore, always use sunscreen regularly and wear covered clothing to protect the skin from exposure to UV rays, yes!
