4 reasons why UPF50+ sun protection clothing is more important than sunscreen
☀️ Children's sun protection is not as simple as "applying some sunscreen"
Summer is here, and children can't wait to rush to the beach, swimming pool and outdoor parks. But did you know? Children's skin is thinner and more sensitive, and they may get sunburned if they are not careful, and even affect their skin health in adulthood.
Although sunscreen is important, it is more important to "wear the right" sun protection equipment.

👶 Why are children more likely to get sunburned than adults?
Children's skin barrier function is immature, the stratum corneum is thinner, and the melanin content is less, which makes them prone to sunburn, redness and even peeling.

🧴 Sunscreen is good, but you can't rely on it alone
* Sunscreen needs to be reapplied every two hours, and must be reapplied after swimming or sweating
* Many parents apply it unevenly, and children often have "blind spots" on their skin
* Some babies will have irritation reactions to chemical sunscreen ingredients
> The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends: Sunscreen should be reapplied every 2 hours, and it needs to be reapplied immediately after swimming.

👕 Why is it safer to choose UPF50+ sunscreen clothing?
UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Index) is an important standard for measuring the sun protection ability of clothing.
UPF50+ means blocking 98% of ultraviolet rays.
✅ 1. Long-lasting and stable
It will not become ineffective due to sweating or going into the water, and is suitable for long-term outdoor activities.
✅ 2. Does not contain irritating ingredients
High-quality physical sunscreen fabric, suitable for babies with sensitive skin
✅ 3. Wider protection range
The one-piece and long-sleeved design can protect children's high-risk areas such as shoulders, arms, and back.
✅ 4. Refreshing and breathable, lightweight and not stuffy
Upandfast's sun protection clothes are made of breathable, quick-drying and environmentally friendly fabrics, which are comfortable for babies to wear in summer.
