DRIVING & UV

Many people associate UV radiation with beach days and summer holidays. In reality, UVA is present all year round. Hands often rest on the steering wheel for extended periods, precisely where sunlight enters through the windshield and side windows.

Because UVA does not cause immediate redness, exposure during driving often goes unnoticed. This is precisely why hand protection is easily forgotten, even though the backs of the hands are exposed to light for extended periods.

A short car ride may seem unimportant. Yet, it is precisely these recurring journeys that add up: to school, to work, to the shop, on the way to appointments, or during longer days in the car.

Every journey brings your hands into the light again. Not always for long, but repeatedly. And it is precisely this repetition that makes UVA exposure relevant for the skin.

UVA penetrates deeper into the skin than UVB and does not cause an immediate warning such as redness. As a result, exposure while driving often goes unnoticed. Handsome Skin helps protect the skin on your hands with certified UPF 50+ protection, independently tested and developed without chemical coating.
