Skin Cancer and UV Ray Information
Skin Cancer Statistics
• Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in the U.S.
• More than 3.5 million cases in 2 million people are diagnosed annually
• One in five Americans will develop some form of skin cancer in the course of a lifetime
UV Rays
• UVA rays are more penetrating – they damage collagen and elastin resulting in premature aging,
  fine lines, wrinkles, sagging, age spots, broken capillaries and uneven skin tone
• UVB rays harm the skin’s surface and are the primary cause of sunburn
Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) Information
Understand what the numbers mean: a garment rated UPF 30 will allow just 1/30th (3.33%) of UVR to reach the skin.
On an average day:
• UPF 15 rating = 93.3% protection
• UPF 30 rating = 96.67% protection
• UPF 40 rating = 97.5% protection
• UPF 50+ ratings = 98% and above protection
