Important of using sunscreen
We use sunscreen to protect our skin from the harmful effects of the sun’s UV (ultraviolet ray). Long exposure of UV radiation can cause damage to the skin, resulting in sunburn, premature aging, and an increased risk of skin cancer.
It is recommended to apply sunscreen to all exposed skin before going for outdoor and reapply every two hours or after activities like swimming, sweating, or towel-drying.
Besides applying sunscreen, sun protection measures such as seeking shade; wear hat, sunglasses, protective clothing, under an umbrella are good ways of protecting your skin from over sun exposure.
