           If  you  are  a  Floridian,  an  avid  beach  goer,  or  a
        person who enjoys the great outdoors, you have likely
        complained about having to lather on sunscreen all
        the time. Let’s be honest, with the recommendation
        to reapply every two hours … who can keep up? UPF   Sumre Perkins, Sandra Moss, Kim Gessner        Renee Feder, Kathy Adkins, Amy Kazma
        clothing can be a great addition to your arsenal while
        combating sun exposure. And while it’s recommended
        to use UPF clothing in addition to sunblock, wearing
        it will certainly help reduce the amount of times you
        have to reapply!
        What Is UPF?
           UPF stands for ultraviolet protection factor.
        While all clothing provides some protection from
        the sun’s harmful rays, UPF clothing is made from a
        special fabric with a tighter weave, which helps block
        ultraviolet (UV) rays from penetrating through micro
        holes in the fabric. UPF clothing has a rating that
        indicates how much UV radiation the fabric blocks.
        UPF ratings typically range anywhere from 15 to 50
        UPF. But what do those numbers actually mean? Well,   Rebecca D’Emic, Karolina Kanner, Laetitia Laurent, Joanne   Sheila Glanfield, Carine Terry, Susan Brockway, Nadia
        if your new sun shirt comes with a 50 UPF rating that   Mancari                                    Bohlman
        means your shirt will only allow 1/50 or 2 percent of
        UV rays to get through. Sounds pretty good, right?
        Purchasing UPF Clothing
           The biggest downside to UPF clothing is the
        expense. The fabrics are expensive and that makes
        the cost to you, the consumer, expensive too. There
        are a lot of companies that claim that their clothing
        protects you from the sun, but it’s important to note
        that the Skin Cancer Foundation only awards its stamp
        of approval to clothing with a UPF rating of 30 or
        higher. Think of buying UPF clothing as an investment
        in your health. After all, wearing UPF clothing now
        will certainly help keep you out of the dermatology
        office for skin cancer treatment in the future!
           Remember UPF clothing alone isn’t enough to protect   Cherie Arscott, Wendy Sadusky  Jeannine Morris, Karen Adler  Valerie Shields, Becky Scott
        you from the sun’s harmful rays. So when packing your
        beach bag be sure to pack your UPF clothing and hat,   • Air Condi�oning Service and Repair   Are you breathing clean air?
