UV Clothing

When you live in a state or country that has a lot of sunshine, there is a much higher risk of getting skin cancer  because of the higher amount of UV Rays you are soaking up. Someone that lives in California will more than likely spend a lot of time in the sunshine, whether it’s playing beach volleyball or it’s learning to surf that big wave. Because there is so much sun and it is generally warmer, people tend to wear less clothes, tank tops, shorts, no socks, all leaving your skin exposed to the harmful rays of the sun that cause melanoma or skin cancer. By wearing UV Clothing while you are outside, you have a greater chance of protecting your skin from the damage caused to your skin from the sun and heat.

The Ayana Shop in California has designed a UV clothing line that has been tested and certified to protect your skin from the sun. Every piece of their UV clothing has been tested and has passed at least one of the three test standards. These tests are the Australian/ New Zealand Standard 4399, American Society for Testing and Materials, and AATCC Testing Method 183. The Australian/ New Zealand Standard was the first globally recognized testing standard for clothing and products that contained UV protectants in them.

If you live in an area that is full of sunshine, it is in your best interest to own at least one pair of clothes that you can wear outside that will protect you from the sun. Skin cancer is a very serious matter, according to the American Cancer Association, More that 68,000 people die from melanoma a year. That is the entire population of a small town!

If you are a gardener or you live to surf, you should be wearing UV Clothing. People that spend large amounts of time in or around water are more likely to develop melanoma than people that do not because the water is an atracting factor for the sun’s UV Rays. This means that you are more likely to be tan, but also very unhealthy.
