The sun protection principle of sun umbrella

If sun protection is the top priority for whitening, then holding an umbrella is the top priority for sun protection. An umbrella is the sun protection tool that covers the largest area, so I don’t bring anything else with me when I go out, but I definitely cannot go without an umbrella! ! ! But buying a sun umbrella is also a science, and I have summarized some tips for you~

Can I use an umbrella directly to protect myself from the sun?

You cannot use an umbrella instead of a sun umbrella , even a dark-colored one. Although holding an umbrella is better than not holding one, it does not provide much sun protection. If you want to buy an umbrella, buy one with sun protection.

Especially this kind of hollow lace umbrella , to be honest, it is better to expect men to be reliable than to expect it to protect you from the sun.

Similar to the SPF value of sunscreen, an umbrella also has its own sun protection index, called UPF (generally, a UPF value greater than 40 is considered a qualified UV protection umbrella).

Although many sun umbrellas claim to be dual-purpose umbrellas for sunny and rainy days, most of them are coated umbrellas. The coating will be destroyed when exposed to water, weakening the umbrella's sun protection performance. Therefore, it is recommended to use sun umbrellas and rain umbrellas separately .

I used to carry two umbrellas with me when I went out, but now I’m too lazy to carry them. However, I will replace the umbrella with a new one every once in a while to ensure its sun protection function.
