Do you always wear sunscreen whenever you are at the beach or swimming at an outdoor pool? Do you put sunscreen on underneath your bathing suit?
If you are not putting sunscreen underneath your swimwear, you are leaving your skin vulnerable and unprotected. The majority of the population doesn’t think to put sunscreen on areas of their body that are covered up. Yet, conventional clothing and swimwear offers very little sun protection, sometimes as little as SPF 5. A much better and safer alternative is SPF swimwear.
If you spend any time outdoors in swimwear, then you should strongly consider purchasing SPF swimwear. Here are some important points to think about when evaluating your purchase options:

• Makes sure the SPF swimwear you are considering blocks UV (ultraviolet) radiation. Groups like the American Cancer Society counsel that UVA and UVB are the two most damaging forms of UV radiation. Blocking these rays is very important because they can harm cells and cause skin cancer.
• For children, look for swimsuits that protect them with SPF fabric. The SPF swimwear should block 98 percent of UVA and UVB rays and be made of a fabric that is comfortable and cool.
• Don’t forget to put babies in protective swimwear. Look for one that has a rating SPF 50.
• Remember that adult SPF swimwear is equally important to protecting your children. Also, look for swimwear blocking 98 percent of UVA and UVB rays. If you prefer, some companies, like Cabana Life also offer sun protective clothing like tunics, sundresses, sun hats and beach pants giving you a full range of options to protect yourself.
