Learn how to tie a niqab in the babushka boi style with this simple and easy tutorial requiring just a few square scarves. Great for both men and women!

All men must put on the niqab! My friend Hijabiz Vlog agrees and would like to teach us men how to properly tie a scarf over our head and face. 

In a world obsessed with skincare products and high-SPF creams, one simple accessory is quietly changing the game—the UV Protection Scarf.

What started as a modest piece of fabric has now evolved into a powerful sun defense essential. Dermatologists recommend it, influencers wear it, and conscious women everywhere are embracing it. But what exactly makes a UV scarf different from your regular dupatta or cotton wrap?

Let’s break it down.

What Is a UV Scarf?

A UV Scarf is not your everyday fashion scarf. It’s made with UPF 50+ rated fabric—meaning it blocks 98% of UV radiation. Unlike cotton scarves, which often allow rays to penetrate through the weave, UV scarves are scientifically tested for sun protection.

At Umbrashield, our UV scarves combine lab-certified fabric with elegant design—offering both beauty and protection in one wrap.

How It Works

Sunlight contains both UVA and UVB rays, which can lead to:

Skin pigmentation

Fine lines and premature aging

Acne flare-ups

Even skin cancer with prolonged exposure

Sunscreen is only the first step. A UV scarf adds a physical barrier that stays effective even when you sweat, forget to reapply SPF, or step out for “just 10 minutes.”

🌤️ When Should You Use a UV Scarf?

You don’t need a beach day to protect your skin. UV exposure happens:

While driving

On walks or market errands

During school drop-offs

While waiting for cabs

Even while working near windows

The UV Scarf by Umbrashield is designed to protect high-risk areas:

Face

Neck

Chest

Sides of the cheeks and nose

Who Should Use a UV Scarf?

Professionals who commute in sun

Mothers managing outdoor errands

Skincare-aware women with acne-prone or sensitive skin

Travelers visiting high-UV index locations

Sporty women into golf, walking, or biking

It’s not just for style. It’s for skin safety—without compromising your look.
