What kind of UV protection measures do you all take?
To avoid the strong sunlight, people use parasols or wear hats when going out...
While these methods can effectively block UV rays coming from above, they may not be as effective at blocking UV rays that reflect off the ground.
For effective protection against UV rays, long-sleeved shirts that prevent direct sunlight from reaching your body are recommended. In addition, it is advisable to choose materials with a fine fiber density.
For example, shirts made of cotton or polyester have been shown to be suitable for the purpose of blocking ultraviolet rays.
Furthermore, darker colored shirts block ultraviolet rays more effectively than lighter colored shirts.
For example, in Australia, where the effects of ozone depletion are severe, long-sleeved shirts are common even in the summer. Many schools also require children to wear sunglasses when commuting to and from school.
According to one theory, by the age of 18, we have received about half of the ultraviolet radiation we will ever be exposed to in our lifetime.
To minimize skin damage caused by ultraviolet rays, it's especially important to protect your skin from UV radiation from a young age.
