Do Your Sailing Hats Protect You From Harmful UV? Stop Damaging Your Skin Now
With the summer comes the sun. You need your sailing hats to protect you from further damage from UV light. The ozone layer which acts as a protective barrier is weak, so UV is able to penetrate more effectively.
Did you know that by the age of eighteen your skin will have accumulated most sunshine damage? As you know when sailing, you get direct sun light on your head, face and neck. But also there is reflection off the water.
That means you are at risk from higher concentration of UV. As well as using an SPF of fifteen or higher.
You should also give your skin the added benefit of:
- SPF rated hat
- Made from breathable fabrics
- Has a draw string
- Double peak, front and back
Designed for the boating community
These factors are important and have been specifically taken into account for the boating community. As your skin ages it gets thinner and becomes less able to manage the sun. This leads to sun spots, which could lead to cancer.
Your family deserve the best chance to protect themselves. Children are more at risk as they need to be taught about how to minimize risk, whilst having a good time on board and around the quay.
