Skin cancer prevention: why UV protective clothing with UPF 50+ is so important
On the occasion of today's World Cancer Day (#WorldCancerDay), we want to continue raising awareness about skin cancer, UV radiation, and effective sun protection. Skin cancer is one of the most common types of cancer worldwide – yet it is often preventable! With the right protective measures, you can significantly reduce your risk.
Why is UV radiation so dangerous?
The invisible ultraviolet radiation (UV radiation) from the sun penetrates deep into the skin and can cause long-term damage. The consequences: skin aging, sunburn, and an increased risk of skin cancer. The tricky part is that the damage accumulates over the years – every unprotected sunburn can increase the risk in the long run.
The most effective measures to protect against skin cancer
With small but consistent steps, you can do a lot for your skin health:
✔ Wear sun protection clothing with UPF 50+ – the most reliable protection against UV radiation
✔ Apply sunscreen with a high SPF regularly to exposed skin areas
✔ Avoid midday sun – UV radiation is strongest between 11 AM and 3 PM
✔ Seek shade, especially on hot summer days
✔ Wear a hat & sunglasses to protect your face and eyes
