UV protection window tinting?

After having some precancerous lesions removed from the left side of my face I've decided to look into having our windows tinted for UV protection. Does anyone have specific recommendations for which tints provide complete UV protection, and would it be possible to get protection applied on the windshield as well?

Both my parents and DH's mother and brother have already had skin cancer and we want to protect the kids (and ourselves). We spend a lot of time in the car.

I'm pretty sure all window tinting has UV protection built in, but any reputable tinting company/installer will be able to tell you for sure and you can research that online. I know 3M has a lot of films.

I'm actually thinking about having my windshield done in a clear film as well because it's so large and I've noticed that when I drive into the sun, I'm getting a sunburn on my face and arms. Not great at my age! I also have to get the ceramic tinting because of my vehicle's antenna and other electronics.

It's a totally different world of tinting now than it was even 10 years ago!
