Does one need to still wear sunblock if one wears UV protecting clothing?

It is very important to wear sunblock, even if your clothing protects you from UV rays, for a few reasons. First and foremost, it's better to be safe than sorry. UV rays can affect the skin at any point, and the more protection you have, the better. Secondly, there are always exposed parts of the skin that are not covered by UV protective clothing. An often overlooked part of the body is the top of the head. Not everyone enjoys wearing a hat, so the scalp is exposed quite easily. If you don't wear sunblock on the top of your head, it burns quite easily, and it leads to a great deal of uncomfort. I have found that headaches are an issue when a sunburn on the head occurs. Other parts that are exposed include the arms, legs, and feet. You must wear sunblock to protect these areas. UV protective clothing will protect the skin from minor UV exposure but they still should be used in conjunction with sunblock. This type of clothing may only protect your skin at the same level as a very low SPF sunscree
