Hohhot Shopping Mall Found That Sunscreen Is Difficult To Resist Ultraviolet Radiation.

In summer, sunscreen is the top priority of many women.

In addition to sunscreen, sun umbrellas, sunglasses and other traditional sunscreen products, "sunscreen clothing" has become a major consumer hot spot this year.

But can a wide variety of "sunscreen clothes" really protect against ultraviolet rays?

Fashionable "sunscreen clothes" are various.

After visiting some shopping malls in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, the reporter found that there are many kinds of sunscreen clothing sold on the market, and the price difference is very large, ranging from tens of dollars to thousands of yuan.

A shopping guide at a street store told reporters that this candy colored, almost pparent sun protection clothing is also called "skin clothing" and is very popular.

"It's light and sunscreen. It's beautiful and not hot at all."

But the sun protection clothing priced at 65 yuan is neither manufacturer nor ingredient.

Neither the Lian pin nor the water washing standard.

Faced with the confusion of reporters, the guide said, "all of these are exported to domestic sales, and manufacturers require cutting labels."

Besides, what do you want for 65 yuan and one thing? "

In some local shopping malls, reporters found that almost all outdoor brands are selling sunscreen, priced between six hundred yuan and two thousand yuan.

But no matter what kind of price sunscreen clothing, shopping guide can not tell why it can sunscreen.

Some people say that clothing materials are high-tech sunscreen products. Some people simply say it is not clear, but they must be sunscreen.

Most of these outdoor brand sunscreen labels are described as "jacket", "coat" and "windbreaker". There is no explicit sunscreen or sun protection index in the product description.

A consumer named Zhang Jing spent nearly 700 yuan to buy an outdoor brand sunscreen.

"I have to cycle to and from work every day, so it's easy to tan.

I did not buy sun protection clothes that my colleagues spent on dozens of dollars, so I bought the sun protection clothing produced by regular factories.

Zhang Jing wore a sunscreen when he went out, and he really didn't tan.

But whether sunscreen is UV resistant, Zhang Jing still has doubts. "I think a good sunscreen should have good UV protection effect. Only from the angle of not tanning, the clothes will not tan."

What kind of clothes are sunscreen?

What kind of clothes are "sunscreen clothes"? Wang Fu Mei, Professor of textile design and Industrial Economics Department of Donghua University, said that many times consumers buy sunscreen clothes just to prevent sunburn.

Therefore, many businesses are selling sunscreen clothes, deliberately confused sunscreen clothing "sunscreen" and "anti ultraviolet" function.

When the ultraviolet rays irradiate the fabric, part of the fabric is absorbed, a part of the fabric that penetrates the fabric, and a part is reflected.

"Therefore, the less UV pmission is, the better the sunscreen performance of the fabric is."

Wang Fu Mei explained.

Our country has a clear stipulation on the "anti ultraviolet products". According to the national standard "the evaluation of ultraviolet protection of textiles", when the product's UPF (UV protection value) is greater than 30, and the UVA (UVB) pmittance is less than 5%, it can be called "anti ultraviolet product", marked as "UPF30+". When UPF is greater than 50, it means that the UV protection performance is excellent, marked as "UPF50+".

Moreover, the anti UV products should be labeled on the label with three aspects: 1. the number of the standard, that is, GB/T18830, 2.UPF value, 30+ or 50+; 3., when used for a long time and under tensile or humid conditions, the protective performance of the product may be reduced.

But the reporters found that the so-called "sunscreen clothes" sold on the market did not show that they were sunscreen clothing, and they did not have corresponding sunscreen index. "Sunscreen clothing" was just a saying that merchants or guide buyers used to attract customers.

In addition to "sunscreen", there are many options for sunscreen.

Faced with a mix of sunscreen clothing market, how to correctly choose sunscreen clothing, Wang Fu Mei suggested that consumers should first clear the purpose of buying sunscreen clothing.

"If it is to prevent sunburn," Wang Fu Mei said, "this is very easy, first of all, do not let the skin directly exposed to the sun.

Plain coat has sunscreen effect. The thicker material and darker clothes, the better the sunscreen effect is.

But UV protection still needs professional textile materials.

Sun Li, chief physician of Department of Dermatology, Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University, said that in recent years, due to the destruction of the ozone layer and the light pollution caused by building glass reflection, ultraviolet radiation is getting stronger and stronger. People suffering from photosensitive skin diseases and skin cancer are increasing year by year, so sunscreen work is very important.

In addition to wearing sunscreen clothing, it is best to take other sunscreen measures at the same time.

For example, when doing outdoor activities, choose sunscreen with SPF30 above and PA two + or above, 15 minutes before going out, wipe it every 2 hours, and wear sunglasses and parasols if necessary.

Wang Fu Mei said that in recent two years, some businesses have applied the concept of sunscreen to ordinary clothing, and consumers have little knowledge of sunscreen fabrics.

Therefore, when choosing sunscreen clothing, don't be blindly attracted by all kinds of fancy propaganda.

Regular clothing made of sunscreen fabrics will be marked with clear sunscreen parameters on their clothing labels.
