In the intense summer sun, sun protection is no longer just about “not getting tanned” – it’s about protecting your skin’s health. More and more people who prioritize skincare and comfort are turning their attention to a new form of UV protection: the silk sun protection mask. TOWNSSILK, a premium silk brand, explains: Is it worth the money – and who is it suitable for?
Does a silk mask really offer UV protection?
Yes, absolutely. Silk fabric with 22 momme and high density achieves a UPF rating of 30–50+ without any chemical coating and blocks over 90% of UVA and UVB radiation – a natural, physical UV barrier.
TOWNSSILK uses only 6A-grade mulberry silk in all its UV protection products, all UPF-tested. Free from chemical additives, making it ideal for sensitive skin and pregnant women.
