Sunscreen is designed to protect the skin from harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation which can cause skin damage and increase the risk of skin cancer.
Broad Spectrum sunscreens are formulated to protect the skin against both UVA and UVB rays, offering comprehensive sun protection.
To ensure effective protection, sunscreen should be reapplied every two hours or immediately after swimming or sweating, as it can wear off.
For daily use, SPF 30 or higher is recommended as it effectively blocks most UV rays, significantly reducing the risk of skin damage.
Fair skin is more likely to burn and less likely to tan due to reduced melanin, making it more susceptible to sun damage.
Mineral-based sunscreens often contain ingredients like zinc oxide that are gentler on the skin and less likely to cause irritation, making them suitable for sensitive skin.
Up to 80% of UV rays can penetrate clouds, so it is essential to apply sunscreen for protection even on cloudy days.
The ears are often overlooked during sunscreen application, yet they are exposed to direct sunlight and require protection.
Avobenzone is a common ingredient in water-resistant sunscreens, providing effective protection against UVA rays.
Photoaging is the premature aging of the skin caused by repeated exposure to UV light, leading to wrinkles and spots.
