it is very fortunate that sunscreen products are available for use as a second line of defense. However, sunscreens sometimes fail, usually attributable to user error, which can result in unintentional sun damage. By contrast, clothing is:
Cost effective
A garment costs about the same as one or two bottles of sunscreen, but lasts much longer
On average, a more effective UV blocker
Less prone to “missed spots” or “under application”
Dependable
Doesn’t wash off, rub off, dissipate, penetrate, or expire
Not messy
Spillproof
Not an irritant
Doesn’t cause eye irritation or acne
Quicker to apply
Covers large areas in a hurry
