UV rays out, style in — all for under $40.

If you love the sun and hate the shade, clothes can keep your skin from getting burnt AF.
They can block and absorb harmful UV radiation, which causes the majority of the 3.7 million skin cancers diagnosed in the U.S. each year, plus up to 90% of visible aging, according to skincancer.org.
BuzzFeed Life reached out to two experts certified by the Board of American Dermatology, Dr. Rachel Herschenfeld, of Dermatology Partners, Inc. in Wellesley, Massachusetts, and Dr. Lisa Garner, who runs her own practice in Garland, Texas.
Here's how they suggest covering up so you don't get deep fried out there this summer:

Covering up won't actually make you SO MUCH HOTTER.
"One major myth is that you can't have sun protection from clothing and feel as cool as you would without covering up," says Garner. "In addition to blocking the UV rays, clothing also can block some of the infrared rays that make the skin feel hot." So even though your maxi seems like it's keeping all of the heat in, it's actually doing a pretty good job of keeping the rays out and your skin cool.
