Wear Protective Clothing
Wear Protective Clothing Beyond sunscreen, UPF (ultra violet protection factor) clothing is another weapon you can add to your arsenal to prevent sunburn at the beach, says Palm. UPF is the rating system used for clothing. It measures a piece of clothing's effectiveness against both UVA and UVB rays. You can find clothing, like rashguards and cover-up dresses, with a UPF rating of 15 all the way to 50+. "UPF clothing has come along way and is more comfortable, functional, and stylish than in years past," says Palm.

Palm also advises making sure your head and the back of your neck are covered. "A neck buff is a great way to keep the latter covered," she explains. Meanwhile, a broad-brimmed hat can protect your head and the back of your neck. It's also easy to find longer-sleeve styles with thumbholes to keep the back of your hands and arms covered, she adds.
