Question 6

Do I need to wear sunscreen with my Bluestone Sunshield?

Accepted Answer

While your Bluestone Sunshield provides UPF 50+ protection and blocks 99% of UV rays, we still recommend wearing sunscreen on exposed areas of skin for full coverage. The shield is an excellent physical barrier, pairing with sunscreen ensures you're protected from reflected and indirect UV rays as well.

Question 7

Do all Bluestone Sunshields offer the same level of protection?

Accepted Answer

All Bluestone Sunshields provide UPF 50+ protection and block 99.95% of UVB rays. However, the addition of tint and color finishes enhances UVA protection, offering an extra layer of defense against sun exposure.

If you're looking for the highest level of sun protection, we recommend choosing any of our colored shields, followed by the black, and then the clear.

Question 8

My sunshield is broken or loose, can you help?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we offer a return and repair service for damaged or loose sunshields. Please contact our customer support team with details of the issue, and we'll guide you through the process for either a repair or replacement, depending on the situation.

Question 9

Can children wear Bluestone Sunshields?

Accepted Answer

Bluestone Sunshields are designed primarily for adults, but many older children and teenagers are able to wear them comfortably depending on their head size and fit preferences.Because every child is different, we recommend comparing their head measurement to our sizing guide before purchasing. An adjustable headband helps provide a customized fit for a wide range of head sizes.If you're shopping for a child or teen and aren't sure which style is best, our customer support team is always happy to help you choose the right option.

Question 10

Can I wear my Bluestone Sunshield with prescription glasses?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Many customers comfortably wear their Bluestone Sunshield over prescription glasses or reading glasses. The shield is designed with ample space between the lens and your face, allowing most eyewear to fit comfortably underneath.Fit may vary depending on the size and style of your frames, but in most cases, customers have no problem wearing both together.If you have particularly large frames or have questions about fit, feel free to contact us—we're happy to help recommend the best style for your needs.

Question 11

If my Bluestone Sunshield blocks UV rays, do I still need sunscreen?

Accepted Answer

Yes. While Bluestone Sunshields provide exceptional facial coverage and are independently third-party tested and verified UPF 50+, sunscreen is still an important part of a complete sun protection routine.Your shield helps protect much of your face from direct UV exposure, but we still recommend applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen to any exposed skin, including your neck, ears, chest, and hands. Combining physical protection with sunscreen offers the most comprehensive defense against sun damage.For those with melasma, photosensitivity, or recovering from cosmetic procedures, many skincare professionals recommend using both physical sun protection and sunscreen together for the best results.
