UV Skinz Review and Giveaway
Even though summer is drawing to a close, we can’t be fooled into thinking that it’s safe to be outside in the sun’s rays without protection. No matter what time of year or where you live, sun safety should be a number one priority. Lucky for us, UV Skinz developed a line of clothing and accessories to make basking in the sun for hours worry-free and fun!
UV Skinz was created out of the founder’s desire to spread awareness about the dangers of the sun’s rays and the importance of protecting ourselves from skin damage.
“I started UV Skinz after losing my 32-year-old husband to melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer. It was this experience and having to raise our three little boys on my own that gave me the drive and determination to educate consumers about the importance of proper sun protection any chance.”
UV Skinz generously sent me this ladies shirt to review, here are my thoughts:
The first thing I noticed about the shirt is how soft it is! I’ve spent a lot of time outside participating in water sports and have a small collection of water-made clothing items to accompany my activities. I had prepared for the typical feel of the fabric, but was pleasantly surprised to feel how soft it was. Of course, this softness made it easy to slide right on over my head. For moms looking to protect their children with UV Skinz, the ease of slipping on clothing is important!
The shirt covered half way down my arms, the base of my neck and stopped just below my belly button. The areas that sunburn easily were all covered: my shoulders, back of neck, back and chest! Again, for moms that need to protect their children from sunburn, UV Skinz provides lots of protection in a lightweight, smooth fabric that doesn’t get heavy and weighed down when wet. And the most fun aspect of UV Skinz shirts…there a lots of styles and colors to choose from! They come in babies, kids, teens, and adult male and females sizes.
If I had one complaint about the shirt, it’s that I have a long torso and the shirt looked a little funny when I paired it only with shorts. But when I’m wearing a swim suit underneath, it’s easy to slip the shorts off and wear just the swim suit and the UV Skinz shirt for a stylish and protected swim outfit! (I could have really used a UV Skinz shirt a couple months ago when I was snorkeling and badly sunburned my back…I won’t be burning my back anymore though!)

I like the Emily. I teach Aqua Aerobics in an outdoor pool year round. I need it for protection.
I would get the Womens Skinz Rachel – White. I need it because I have very pale skin that burns easily but i love being outdoors!
