Clothing Protects Your Skin

When planning to be out in the sun, wear a loose-fitting long sleeved shirt and long pants made of tightly woven fabric for the best protection. A dry T-shirt offers more protection than a wet one. Darker colored clothes protect your skin better. Interestingly, a typical T-shirt has a SPF rating of less than 15. So, for maximum skin protection consider purchasing clothing fashioned from a fabric that offers 30+ all day sun protection.
