According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, rashguards or other types of swimwear that help protect you from the sun "are a sun safety basic for anyone who's in or on the water." But they're not just good for your skin.
If you're swimming in the ocean and choose a swim shirt instead of sunscreen, they can also help protect our fragile coral reefs. In 2008, the scientific journal Environmental Health Perspectives reported that common ingredients in sunscreen are damaging ocean coral. Each year, 4000 - 6000 metric tons of sunscreen wash off swimmers into the oceans.
Wearing a rash guard or swim shirt can decrease the need for sunscreen, thereby helping to save our oceans.When you do use sunscreen, it's helpful to use eco-friendly sunscreens.
