COMVIP Sun Protection UPF50+ Neck Gaiter Windproof Sunscreen Face Mask

Product Information

Avoid getting caught out by sunburn. Use shade, clothing and a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 to protect yourself. SPF, on the other hand, measures how well products like sunscreen protect its users from UVB (ultraviolet B) rays. The SPF number indicates how long you can stay in the sun before you get sunburnt. For example, a sunscreen with an SPF of 50 can theoretically be worn for 500 minutes(50 multiplied 10 times) prior to reapplying. A child under six months old should never be exposed to direct sunlight, as they burn much faster than adults. Even in the shade they can be burned by reflected UV.

Reapply it at least every two hours, and immediately after swimming, perspiring, or towel-drying, or if it has rubbed off. That’s all very well, but over-exposure to the sun can lead to skin problems later in life including skin cancer which can kill, as well as premature ageing. Water resistance. While sunscreens can’t claim to be waterproof, they can be labeled water resistant for either 40 or 80 minutes.

We still found it very comfortable, but the weight does make it less comfortable than some hats. There are also more stylish hats out there, but this hat balances style, comfort, sun protection, and breathability the best. It's illegal for people under the age of 18 to use sunbeds, including in tanning salons, beauty salons, leisure centres, gyms and hotels. If you’re worried about harmful chemicals, some natural sunscreen alternatives are just as effective and may suit your needs.

How to apply sunscreen More than 100,000 new cases of skin cancer are diagnosed annually in the UK, and while the disease can also occur on parts of the body not exposed to sunlight, extensive sun exposure is thought to be responsible for the vast majority of cases,” says the British Association of Dermatologists. “In more than four out of five cases skin cancer is a preventable disease.” Many of the sun hats listed in this guide have adjustability features like pull-cords, tieable strings, or velcro. If you want to be able to fine-tune the fit of your sun hat so it stays securely on during gusty days, be sure to grab a hat with these additions. To adjust your sun hat, simply pull the toggle on the crown, or tie it so it fits snugly without being too tight. Having a sun hat with adjustability has its major upsides — you can accommodate different hairstyles, throw a bandana underneath or let a friend borrow the hat for the day.
