"As a dermatologist who manages skin cancer daily, discussing photoprotection with my patients is of paramount importance.

SParms are reliable garments that consistently protect against UV radiation. I particularly like the fact that, unlike sunscreen, they withstand sweat, moisture and friction over arms and legs.

Perfect for the Australian lifestyle and climate, I recommend these for not only my patients, but also family and friends.

They are comfortable and look great. My favourite piece is the long-sleeved cooling shirt which can be worn on its own , over swimsuits, or underneath sleeveless and short-sleeved tops.

If you are looking for an easy, convenient, and stylish way to protect yourself in the sun, look no further than SParms."

"Don't get me wrong, I love the sun and being outdoors like you. The simple fact is, particularly for fairer skin types, the sun doesn't love us back as much. UVA and UVB are forms of radiation that induce cellular DNA damage in our skin (even present on cloudy days). We 100% know this 1) makes you look older, and 2) leads to skin cancers. Which makes it a challenge to be outdoors safely over time.
