UV Wristbands for summer

As many parents of elementary school aged children can attest… the sun emits ultraviolet radiation. Our sun produces UVA UVB and UVC types of radiation which allows our planet to sustain all that we see around us. However, in the last few decades the natural shield has been eroded away by mans emissions of certain gasses into the atmosphere which has reduced the effective shield against these most hazardous and yet necessary types of radiation.  UV radiation has certain implication on human health.  From immunity, insulin secretion, blood pressure and even calcium metabolism UVB exposure is a necessity yet many will take advantage of the warmer weather and less clouds to bake themselves in the sun all for that beautiful tan look.

An overexposure to UVB radiation can cause some form of skin cancer. As summer quickly approaches we must protect ourselves and especially our children from the harmful UVA and UVB rays.  Sunscreen is very important especially for those who are outdoor enthusiast. Skin cancer is no laughing matter.  We have all been in the position where sun screen was forgotten etc.  At wristbands.net we have  great looking UV wristbands that changes color and can be used as a great reminder to anyone who is going to spend time outside of when it may be good idea to go inside or simply apply another coating of sunscreen. The UV bands come in a cream/opaque color and the longer it is exposed to the sun’s rays it becomes a darker violet. Many dermatologists have begun creating these with simple messages to distribute to their patients or simply as a way to get their own message across that while fun in the sun is important one must respect the sun as well.
