A member asked:

Can sunrays get through a white longsleeve and white t shirt if both are put on at the same time? im worried it may damage my skin.

Unlikely: Clothing usually protect the skin against sun rays. White clothing reflect the sun light and the heat.

Sunrays: Thickness of the material determines whether Ultraviolet rays reach the skin or not. Thin, loosely woven fabric would not give you much protection.
