Sun-Proof Your Clothes
Sun-Proof Your Clothes It may sound a little extreme (and even more unglamorous), but if you're hanging out in the sun all day, sun-protective clothing is a must. "Regular clothing gives very little sun protection," Graf says. "A white shirt will give you [SPF] three to five, while darker colors still only give you [SPF] eight to nine."
