But when you consider how sunlight can fade home furnishings and flooring over time, it\u2019s easier to understand how the sunlight that hits you inside your home or car can also harm your skin.<\/p>\n<p>This type of exposure is known as incidental sun exposure. It\u2019s dangerous because of the way it adds up over time, and compounds your overall sun damage and increases skin cancer risk.<\/p>\n<p>A paper published in the <em>New England Journal of Medicine<\/em> highlights the case of a 69-year-old man who drove a delivery truck for 28 years.

Also known as solar window film or UV window tint, UV window film is a thin polyester film with UV light inhibitors added during the manufacturing process. Window films come in many styles, including clear\/translucent, to allow natural light to come through, along with tinted varieties.<\/p>\n<p>When UV window film is applied to the windows of vehicles, homes or offices, it can block more than 99% of UVA and UVB light.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>In vehicles: <\/strong>Window glass blocks most UVB rays, but not UVA. The front windshields of cars are laminated glass, treated to shield drivers from some UVA. However, the glass on the side, back and sunroof windows are made of tempered glass, which does not block UVA rays effectively. To protect your skin while in your vehicle, you can have UV window film (also known as UV window tint) installed on driver and passenger side windows and sunroof.<\/li>\n<li><strong>In homes and offices: <\/strong>Window films are available for both residential and commercial spaces, and they come in varied tints and opacities to allow for customization.
