Even though we are back from the Sunshine State and back in Manitoba where we do not experience the same heat, we still have to be careful. UV Skinz was started by Rhonda Sparks after her husband Darren passed away at the age of 32. Rhonda was left with 3 young boys and a passion to make Sun protective clothing more readily available!
Not only are UV Skinz protecting my little girls skin, they are also super cute! With so many different styles and colors to choose from I like that UV Skinz has something for everyone!
- UPF 50+ protection
- Loose Fitting
- UVA & UVB protective
- Chlorine Resistant
- Quick Drying
- Can be worn as a shirt while playing outside or as swimwear
Check out UVSkinz on Twitter and on Facebook

Thank you for making this an educational giveaway! I learned that UPF measures how much of the sun’s rays are penetrating a garment. A UPF 50 rating means that the fabric only allows 1/50th (2%) of the sun’s UV rays to pass through it and blocks out 98% of UV rays. UPF protection applies to both UVA and UVB rays.
