"   You&amp;#039;re probably thinking, &amp;quot;Wait, I thought dark colors attracted the sun!&amp;quot; Interestingly, although they attract more heat than light hues, they actually offer greater UV protection, because the rays can&amp;#039;t penetrate the fabric as well.

For instance, a dark green cotton shirt has a UPF of 10, whereas the same exact shirt in white has a UPF of 7.  Want more tips on how to protect your skin?
