The Health Benefits Of Tinting Car Windows

Tinted car windows not only create a stylish look for your vehicle, they can also offer you real health benefits. And as hard as it is may be to believe, tinting actually reduces the symptoms of some skin conditions by blocking you from severe UV ray exposure. They can also make your car cooler (temperature wise) and more comfortable to drive. Here are four problems that window tinting can help prevent.

Issues with Extreme Heat

Few people realize that window tinting actually reduces heat intensity. That's because it not only blocks UV rays, but thermal rays as well. As a result, your car will be more cool in the summer, and the risk of heat stroke will be severely reduced. Window tinting also leads to reduced heat severity on your car's interior items such as the dash, the steering wheel, and the seats. As a result, your drive will be more comfortable.

Lupus

Lupus is an autoimmune disease that causes the body to attack itself and generates severe inflammation throughout the body. Exposure to sunlight can severely exasperate this condition, to the point that medical experts suggest avoiding being outside between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Tinted car windows can help you regain your life by letting you drive to and from work during the sunniest parts of the day without triggering a severe lupus attack.

Cataracts

Repeated medical studies have shown that UV ray exposure increases the odds of developing cataracts. In fact, UV rays can actually aggravate existing cataract conditions and increase their severity. Severe cataracts can cause a person to go nearly blind until they are removed. Thankfully, tinted car windows will greatly reduce that risk by blocking your eyes from UV radiation while driving.

Aged Skin

While some UV exposure while driving may give you a nice tan, too much can cause your skin to look prematurely "aged." Tinted car windows can help keep you safe from the following skin aging problems:

  • Wrinkles
  • Freckles
  • Discoloration or mottled pigmentation
  • Yellowing of the skin (sallowness)
  • Sagging skin
  • Facial lines

While it's possible to reverse this premature aging with certain treatments, it can be hard to restore your skin to its original luster. Naturally, tinted car windows are not a "cure" for your skin conditions. You'll still need to take your medications and proper precautions when going out into the sun. But, they can offer you an extra layer of protection that can alleviate some of the symptoms of these severe conditions.
