Natural Hemp Protects Skin

Ultraviolet rays contain three different wavelengths of light: UVA, UVB, and UVC. UVC can almost be absorbed by the ozone layer, but UVA and UVB are not that simple.

If our skin is exposed to the sun for a long time, these two types of rays can cause damage to the skin:

1. Aging, redness, swelling, itching;

2. Darkening and spots;

3. Destroy the function of white blood cells;

4. Suppress the immune system;

5. Skin disease or more serious skin cancer.

Summer is the most intensive time for sun protection because the sun is always above our heads. We will use sunscreen, sunscreen spray, sunglasses, sun hats, sun shawls, etc. The only purpose of using these is to block direct sunlight from the skin, thereby protecting our skin from ultraviolet rays!

SPF is a specific numerical value that expresses the ability of a product to protect against medium-wave ultraviolet rays. It is a protective index that evaluates the ability of sunscreen cosmetics to protect the skin from sun erythema/sunburn.

UPF is the ratio of the average effect of ultraviolet radiation calculated when the skin is unprotected to the average effect of ultraviolet radiation calculated when the skin is protected by fabrics. It is used to evaluate the UV protection ability of textiles.

The higher the SPF and UPF values, the better the protection effect.As a natural fiber, hemp is also very good at protecting against UV rays. Fabrics made of 100% hemp have UPF>50+. This is incredible, but hemp does it! Moreover, this UV-resistant function will not weaken due to washing and the loss of time, it will always accompany the hemp fabric. 

The great thing about this natural sunscreen is that you don’t have to apply thick and sticky sunscreen, and you don’t have to worry about having to reapply sunscreen every few hours! We only need to wear a simple and casual hemp skirt and a hemp hat to enjoy the benefits of the sun without being "harmed" by it.

Hemp is not only UV-resistant, but also very breathable, skin-friendly, hypoallergenic, and will not burden the skin. Summer is the best time to wear hemp fabrics, because at this time, hemp can maximize its advantages: Sweat-wicking, heat-dissipating, quick-drying, antibacterial, and UV-resistant！
