Protection from harmful ultraviolet radiation (UVR) can be achieved in a multitude of ways: sunscreen, chemical laundering additives, regular clothing, and photoprotective clothing. While sunscreen remains a popular sun-protective method, research has shown that its long-term use can lead to serious neurological, endocrine, and developmental consequences. Chemical laundering additives have been marketed as a means to absorb or reflect UVR, but data on its efficacy tests are not currently available, and skin contact with these chemicals may prove to be harmful. All clothing, regular or sun-protective, confers sun protection through dyes, weave patterns, and textile materials. However, photoprotective clothing is generally rated as more protective on the ultraviolent protection factor (UPF) scale and garment protection factor (GPF) scale. A combination of photoprotective clothing and sunscreen use over non-covered body areas is likely to be the optimal way for sun protection with minimal risk. However, further research on the topic is needed to gain deeper insights into it.
可以通过多种方式实现对有害紫外线辐射（UVR）的防护：防晒霜、化学洗涤添加剂、普通衣物和光防护衣物。虽然防晒霜仍然是一种流行的防晒方法，但研究表明，长期使用它会导致严重的神经、内分泌和发育后果。化学洗涤添加剂已作为一种吸收或反射紫外线辐射的手段进行销售，但目前尚无关于其功效测试的数据，而且皮肤接触这些化学物质可能被证明是有害的。所有衣物，无论是普通衣物还是光防护衣物，都通过染料、编织图案和纺织材料来提供防晒保护。然而，在紫外线防护系数（UPF）和服装防护系数（GPF）方面，光防护衣物通常被认为具有更强的防护能力。在未覆盖的身体部位同时使用光防护衣物和防晒霜可能是风险最小的最佳防晒方式。然而，需要对该主题进行进一步研究以获得更深入的见解。
