Improve the UPF of Your Clothing
Improve the UPF of Your Clothing The best piece of skin care advice anyone can follow is to protect your skin from the sun. Obviously, SPF is one of the key ways to do so, as is hanging out in the shade. UPF (ultraviolet protection factor) clothing is also helpful, but it can be expensive. Dr. Melanie Palm, a board-certified dermatologist in Solana, Calif., has a hack for that!

"If you don't have the disposable income to invest in UPF clothing, consider taking a long-sleeve t-shirt that is (preferably) dark and wash it a few times. This will shrink the t-shirt fibers and create a tighter weave, which can double the UPF rating and provide additional sun protection while outdoors," she says.
