🌞 Are your children really protected from the sun?
The summer sun may seem gentle, but it actually hides the "killing intent" of ultraviolet rays. Children's skin is delicate. If the sun protection is not in place, sunburn, peeling and even long-term skin damage may come quietly.
Many parents are used to applying sunscreen to their children, but is sunscreen really enough? In recent years, more and more dermatologists have emphasized that the combination of sunscreen + physical sun protection clothing is the "golden partner" for children's sun protection.
👶 Why are children more likely to get sunburned?
"The stratum corneum of children's skin is only half as thick as that of adults, with low melanin content and poor self-defense." - American Academy of Dermatology (AAD)
Thinner stratum corneum: stronger UV penetration
Immature pigment barrier: insufficient natural barrier to protect against UV rays
Weak repair ability: redness, swelling and peeling after sunburn recover slowly
📊 Data tips (Skin Cancer Foundation):
A severe sunburn during childhood or adolescence increases the risk of melanoma in adulthood by ↑2 times
More than 25% of UV exposure occurs before the age of 18.

🧵 Scientific basis of UPF50+ sun protection clothing
What is UPF?
UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) = The ability of textiles to block ultraviolet rays
UPF50+ blocks more than 98% of ultraviolet rays, and only 1/50 passes through
The UPF value of ordinary white T-shirts is only about 5
📖 Authoritative data: The American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) recommends UPF50+ sun protection clothing as the first choice for outdoor protection
❓ Is there any difference between UPF sun protection clothing and ordinary clothes?
✅ Yes! Ordinary clothes have a UPF value of only 5-10, and ultraviolet rays can easily penetrate. Sun protection clothing achieves UPF50+ strong protection through special weaving and fabric treatment.
❓ Do I still need to apply sunscreen after wearing sun protection clothing?
✅ Yes. Sun protection clothing protects the covered parts, but sunscreen is still required for exposed hands, feet, and face.
❓ Will sun protection clothing be stuffy?
✅ No. UpandFast sun protection clothing uses light and quick-drying fabrics, which are breathable and skin-friendly, so babies can feel comfortable outdoors.
