GECKOLINE Sportswear
UV-protective Clothing UV radiation is always present! The most dangerous time in year is between
March and April. Why? Especially in spring the skin of Europeans has no protection because
of the winter with few sun and therefore is very sensitive. Another aspect is the holiday and leisure mentality of many people.
They often go in winter months to countries with high sun intensity.
Sylvester at the Bahamas, skiing in August at the glacier - nothing special
any more..  More dangerous than sun radiation is the fashion
trend of getting a brown skin. In the 70ies sun reflectors were used on glaciers. The intensity of
UV radiation depends on the angle of the sun heating the earth, the clarity
of the sky and the ozone factor. Who doubles the sun radiation intensifies the risk
of getting cancer with factor 4! UV is always present and has nothing
to do with heat. Even in shadow still 70 % of the harmful
UV radiation reach the skin. Children should get special
sun protection treatment, especially in the first 6 years.
The dose of harmful UV radiation accumulated in this time is reasonable
for the immune system. The skin of children as not as thick as this
from adults and therefore has less protection babies till the age of
one year should avoid radiation of sun completely. Not the sun is harmful, but the quantity
of sunburns! The skin never forgets! The
time and intensity of sun radiation on children's skin is a possible
explanation for damages. The best results in sun protection are received
