Sunscreen Clothes Are Often Used For Speculation.

Hard to find information on sun protection information

In July 26th, the reporter entered "sunscreen clothes" on Taobao, and immediately jumped out of 510 thousand search results: all kinds of sunscreen clothing can be seen everywhere, including long and short sleeves, and fishing suits, windbreaker, outdoor sports clothes, etc. the colors are mainly light and bright, and the lowest price is twenty or thirty, while the high price is one thousand yuan.

Reporters in a sunscreen clothing sales volume of over 10000 stores saw that the sun protection clothing price tag 40 yuan, the seller said the anti season special price discount only 29 yuan, buy two pieces of national mail.

In the introduction of the beach pet sunscreen / long sleeve / pparent / genuine / Big Beach / sunwear / short coat product, the seller called the sunscreen "super thin and pparent, and sunscreen and breathable". In the introduction of the sunscreen effect, the seller said "tens of thousands of sales, and countless praise can't explain everything yet!" but the reporter did not see any information about the SPF.

In another store, a $1125 "short jacket" spring and Autumn New Korean purchase SZ casual loose large code long sleeve hat outdoor sunscreen product "was introduced. The reporter also did not see any information about UV or SPF.

There are many small shops in the city.

Figure.

In a small shop attached to the left house, a so-called sunscreen is priced at 60 yuan. However, these so-called "sunscreen clothes" do not contain information about manufacturers, manufacturers' addresses, and so on.

Ms. Yip, who bought the sunscreen clothing from the shop, told reporters that after she bought it back, she wore it once. The first thing she felt was wearing her body on her face.

Sunscreen clothes are mostly for merchants to hype.

Reporters found that some shoppers claimed that wearing sunscreen clothing could save the trouble of sunscreen.

So, these sunscreen clothes that have not been labeled can really play the role of sunscreen?

Li Guangrui, director of Department of Dermatology, Wangjing Hospital told reporters that sunscreen clothing can be said to be the concept of speculation for merchants to sell products. At present, there is no clear regulation on the material or shielding rate of sunscreen clothing. There is no uniform standard for the quality of sunscreen clothing in the country.

However, he also pointed out that although there is no national standard for sunscreen clothing, the quality of anti ultraviolet textiles can be referred to by national standard.

It is stipulated in the "evaluation of ultraviolet radiation resistance of textiles" that only when the UPF value of clothing is greater than 30 and the pmittance of UVA (the most penetrating ultraviolet radiation) is less than 5% can it be called an anti ultraviolet product. These two conditions are indispensable.

In fact, many sunscreen clothes on the market have not labeled UPF and UVA values.

In view of this, the so-called sunscreen clothing and the main function of sunscreen may be just a gimmick to attract consumers' eyeballs.

Zhang Li, a professor at the school of art and clothing at Tianjin University of Technology, also told the media that the sun protection signs should be marked on the formal sunscreen clothes. The higher the UPF index on the signs, the better the sunscreen performance of the clothes.

The effect of sunscreen is related to the density of the fabric. The higher the density, the better the sunscreen effect. But the light, breathable and even pparent "sunscreen clothing" on the market is not consistent with this principle.

According to the introduction, "sunscreen clothing" should reduce the light pmittance of fabrics, and then add sunscreen aids to the coating on the surface of fabrics. This requires high-tech processing methods and production processes. Many of the cottage products on the market are priced at only a few dozen yuan, and even the production cost is not enough.

Experts also said that the "sunscreen" of poor quality is made of chemical materials. The direct contact with the skin in the sun will cause local skin for a long time. The chemical composition of the sunscreen will burn the skin.

For a long time, wearing sundry clothes with poor material will cause clogging of pores, resulting in skin redness, itching, allergies and even pustular sores, pus prickly disease and other skin diseases.

Ordinary long sleeved clothes can be sunscreen.

How do you choose a sunscreen for sunscreen in the face of a mix of sunscreen clothing? Li Guangrui pointed out that in fact, ordinary long sleeved clothes can be sunscreen.

He pointed out that sunscreen clothing can be sunscreen, mainly in sunscreen fabric with sunscreen.

Adding more sunscreen is not as effective as clothings.

A cotton plain clothes can play the role of sunscreen. The greater the density of clothing material, the better the sunscreen effect.

Li Guangrui said that people in daily life are not very sensitive to sunlight, and wearing ordinary clothes can play a role in sunscreen.

For people engaged in long-term outdoor sports or skin sensitivity, they need to wear professional sunscreen clothing to avoid skin burns.

Most people think that it is cooler to wear light coloured clothes in summer, while wearing dark clothes will be more sultry.

In fact, this is a misunderstanding.

It is cool to wear light colored clothes because light coloured clothes are more reflective than dark ones, but the reflection is mainly infrared. Ultraviolet light has a stronger penetrating power to light colored clothes, and brings greater harm to the human body.

On the contrary is dark clothes, UV penetration is relatively weak.

Li Guangrui reminded that the darker the color of clothing, the higher the UV protection performance, such as black and dark purple, can play a role in sunscreen.

In the chemical fiber material, polyester has the best sunscreen effect, followed by nylon and artificial cotton and silk, and natural fiber has the best flax effect.
