How to Protect from the Sun

When it comes to protecting skin from the sun, the two most important things are to put on UV protective clothing and wear sunscreen.  Both can protect the skin from sun's uva and uvb rays - which is extremely important because these damaging rays can lead to skin cancer.  Keep in mind, to be safe in the sun you must reapply sunscreen often (as much as once every two hours or even more (especially if you have been in the water)) or wear clothing specially designed to protect from the sun.  For example, SwimZip swimsuits block 99% of UVA and UVB rays and are a great complement to sunscreen.  When Iplay at the pool with my kids, I insist they wear a swimsuit that blocks the sun's rays, sunscreen, and a hat.  When it comes time to protect from the sun, there is simply no excuse not to be covered.  With products like SwimZip swimwear (www.swimzip.com), rash guards, hats, and sunscreens - protecting from the sun has never been easier (or more important!)  Get out and play, but be sun safe!
