Beautiful and fashionable sun protection clothing has become popular in the past two years, with prices ranging from tens to hundreds to thousands of yuan. Does this kind of sun protection clothing work? Experts said that sun protection clothing is mostly hyped by merchants to promote products. concept.

On June 19, a reporter entered “sun protection clothing” on Taobao, and nearly 300,000 related products immediately popped up: there are all kinds of sun protection clothing, including long and short-sleeved coats, as well as fishing clothes, windbreakers, and outdoor sportswear. Etc., the colors are mainly light colors and bright colors. The low price only costs 20 or 30 yuan, while the high price is more than 1,000 yuan.

Offline, whether it is a street shop or a shopping mall, the sales of sun protection clothing are equally hot, and the prices vary widely. The cheapest ones in street shops only cost a few dozen yuan, while in the mall they cost hundreds. Ms. Gong, a consumer, told reporters that she spent nearly 100 yuan on a piece of sun protection clothing a month ago. “After wearing it for a while, I don’t know how effective the sun protection is. I felt like I was so scared when I put it on that I couldn’t wear it anymore.” I haven’t worn it yet.” Ms. Gong told reporters that she carefully checked the sun protection clothing she purchased and found no information about UV protection or SPF on the so-called sun protection clothing.

Li Guangrui, director of the Dermatology Department of Wangjing Hospital, told reporters that sun protection clothing can be said to be a concept hyped by merchants to promote products. Currently, the industry does not have clear rules on the information or occlusion rate of sun protection clothing. The country currently has no unified quality of sun protection clothing. standard.

However, he also pointed out that although there is no national standard for sun protection clothing, there are national standards for reference for the quality of UV protection textiles. According to the “Evaluation of UV Protection Performance of Textiles”, only when the UPF value of the clothes is greater than 30 and the transmittance of UVA (strongly penetrating ultraviolet rays) is less than 5%, can it be called an anti-UV product. These two Both conditions are indispensable. In fact, many sun protection clothing in the mall do not indicate the UPF value and UVA value. From this point of view, the so-called sun protection clothing and its main sun protection function may be nothing more than a gimmick created to attract consumers’ attention.

It is not difficult for careful consumers to discover that in recent years, sun protection clothing has also had a “foreign” name – skin clothing. The main purpose of this kind of skin clothing is to be light and breathable, but what is its actual function?

Experts point out that in addition to the sun protection index that can prove its sun protection effect, the sun protection effect of sun protection clothing is also related to the density of the fabric. The higher the density, the better the sun protection effect. However, the light, breathable, and even transparent “skin clothes” on the market do not comply with this principle.

It is understood that “skin clothes” need to reduce the transmittance of the fabric, and then add sunscreen additives to the surface coating of the fabric. This requires high-tech processing methods and production techniques. Many knockoffs on the market only cost tens of yuan, and even Not even production costs.

Experts jointly stated that defective “skin clothing” is mostly made of chemical raw materials. Direct contact with the skin in the sun will cause the temperature of some skin to be high for a long time, and the chemical ingredients in the sun protection clothing will burn the skin. If you wear “skin clothing” with poor material for a long time, sweat will clog the pores, causing skin redness, itching, allergies, and even skin diseases such as impetigo and prickly heat.

Faced with a mixed bag of sun protection clothing market, how to correctly choose a sun protection clothing to protect yourself from the sun?

Experts suggest that when purchasing sun protection clothing, you need to choose sun protection clothing with an SPF and fine texture. It is understood that clothing made of regular sun protection fabrics will have a clear sun protection index on its clothing label. In addition, the finer and denser the texture of sun protection clothing, the better the sun protection effect.

See, the less light transmitted, the better the UV protection. It should be noted that if summer clothes are too thin, they will become airtight. Secondly, you can cover the UV lamp with sun protection clothing. The lower the penetration rate, the better the UV filtration is.

In addition, Li Guangrui pointed out that instead of spending a lot of money to buy expensive sun protection clothing, it is better to choose an ordinary dark-colored long-sleeved suit for sun protection. He pointed out that a piece of ordinary clothing made of cotton can provide sun protection. The higher the density of the clothing material, the better the sun protection effect.

For people whose skin is not very sensitive to sunlight in daily life, wearing ordinary clothes can provide sun protection. For people who engage in outdoor sports for a long time or have sensitive skin, they need to wear professional sun protection clothing to prevent their skin from being burned.

Li Guangrui reminded that the darker the color of the clothes, the higher the UV protection function, such as black, dark purple, etc., can play a role in sun protection. Among chemical fiber raw materials, polyester has the best sun protection effect, followed by nylon and rayon.
