alt Hacker NewsJust about any shirt is going to have a higher spf/upf than any normal sunscreen. Also who puts sunscreen on their hands??
A long sleeve sunshirt with a hood or better yet a floppy hat is where it’s at. I have a couple of the Colombia PFG ones that I wear for working outside, though I’d like to see if I can find something cotton instead since I’m not a huge fan of synthetic fibers.

Nearly everyone I know puts sunscreen on their hands. Here in Australia, the world melanoma capital, sun safety is drilled into you as a kid, to the extent that "no hat no play" used to be official policy in most schools.
Pretty much this
Also for the other comments there are gloves and face masks but I think most people do fine without them unless you're working outside
For the nerds here working indoors during the hottest times of the day... they may need more sun than they get really, rather than blocking it with toxic sunscreens (depends on where they live?)
Who puts sunscreen on their hands? People in the sun who want to avoid wrinkles and burns and skin cancer on their hands.
If it's exposed skin, it gets sunscreen.
I put sunscreen on my hands.
While generally true, it's worth remembering that thin shirts can have an SPF as low as 50 or so, which isn't much.
People who don't enjoy sunburns on their hands put sunscreen on their hands.
I put sunscreen on my hands or I will have completely burnt hands. There's many of us who cant have more than about an hour in direct sunlight (and sometimes much less) before redness and soon burning occurs.
