Surprising news about UV rays and your delicate breast skin, plus how to stay safe.
Swimsuit fabric has an SPF of only about 5,
so your bikini top barely repels UV rays. Put sunscreen with SPF 15 or higher under your top to stay safe, reapplying ever two hours.
"Waterproof" sunscreen really isn't.
If you work up a sweat or go for a swim, sunscreen's effectiveness can become compromised and you must put on another coating or your skin will burn.
UV rays can get through water.
Actually, rays reach 2 feet into water and can fry your skin while you swim, hence the need to put on sunscreen before you dive into the pool or ocean.
