“UPF clothing is wonderful because they are consistently reliable and effective, dry or wet, and retain their protective properties for numerous washings. You can also impart UPF protection into regular clothing by simply adding SunGuard Laundry Aid ($8) to a load of laundry. This additive gives regular clothing a UPF of 30 for up to 20 washings. Although UPF clothing cannot replace a broad-spectrum sunscreen for the face and neck, they are wonderfully effective sun protection for the rest of the body and are an important part of anyone’s sun protection arsenal.” —Bloomfield Hills, MI dermatologist Linda C.
