“Put a bow on it, and it becomes a très chic, and très thoughtful present for your beloved.”

What is UPF and how is it different from SPF?
While SPF measures the effectiveness of sunscreens, UPF imeasures the effectiveness of sun-protective clothing.
UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor.
According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, it specifies how much UV radiation (both UVA and UVB) can get through a fabric to the skin underneath.
A UPF of 50 blocks 98% of UV rays and is considered excellent, while a UPF of 30 is considered good and gets The Skin Cancer Foundation’s Seal of Recommendation.
Generally, dark clothing gives more protection than light clothing, while dense fabric is more protective than loose weaves.
Synthetic fabrics like polyester and nylon also offer more sun protection than natural fibers, according to REI.
On the other hand, SPF (Sun Protection Factor) measures the time it takes for skin to get red when exposed to just UVB rays.
