FACESaver Protects Your Face From UV Rays While You Tan

FACESaver, by GOTCHACovered, is an innovative mask that protects your face from the ravages of ultraviolet rays that damage and age your skin. Constructed of Solarweave® SPF fabric, they block more than 99.8 percent of harmful UV rays for up to 100 hours. Solarweave® makes fabrics used by NASA to protect its astronauts, so you know it’s a quality product. Only fabrics tested by the International UV Testing Laboratory are UV Block® certified, which was a primary safety factor in the development of FACESaver.

The two-ply masks offer extra UV protection, which is especially important when tanning at salons. The mask can be hand-laundered 40 times with no loss of protection. Velcro® straps secure the mask in place for stand-up tanning units. Airflow is facilitated by Rigilen® boning. The boning pulls the mask away from the face for a comfortable fit, easier breathing and air circulation. You can even dampen the mask before tanning for added freshness and cooling. Masks are available in random Hawaiian prints.

FACESaver masks help protect and prevent the breakdown of delicate skin tissue from UV rays, especially in tanning salons. Damage from repeated exposure to UV rays includes a loss of elasticity and firmness, leading to premature wrinkles.

Skin begins to lose its ability to protect itself from the environment starting at age 20. However, the damage usually isn’t noticeable until we’re in our 40’s and 50’s. Exposure to chemicals, smoking, pollution and environmental extremes contribute to changes in our skin. UV rays are the biggest danger. Their wavelength is longer, which allows them to penetrate beneath the outer layers of skin.

Many salons offer their clients a towel when they tan and customers are fooled, thinking they’re protecting their face. Towels do not block UV rays. It’s up to tanners to monitor the amount of UV exposure to their face and take appropriate precautions.

Billions of dollars are spent each year on tanning salons and protection from UV rays. When those products don’t work, tanners are forced to start looking for anti-aging remedies in an effort to repair the damage caused by UV rays. It just makes sense to protect with FACESaver before the damage is done. Even if you’ve been tanning for a while, you can prevent further damage with a FACESaver mask. To know you’re purchasing a quality product, look for SPF50+ and the UV Testing Lab seal.
