The Importance of

Sunscreen and Skincare in the Summer


Protect and prevent

The summer is a time for fun in the sun, but it's also important to protect your skin from the sun's harmful rays.


The Benefits of Sunscreen


  • Protects against sunburn: Sunscreen can help prevent sunburn by absorbing or reflecting UV rays before they reach your skin.


  • Reduces the risk of premature aging: Sunscreen can help reduce the risk of premature aging by protecting the collagen and elastin in your skin.


  • Lowers the risk of skin cancer: Sunscreen can help lower the risk of skin cancer by blocking UV rays that can damage DNA and lead to cancer.





How to choose a sunscreen


  • SPF: SPF stands for "sun protection factor." The higher the SPF, the more protection you'll have from the sun's rays. Most experts recommend using an SPF of 30 or higher.


  • Broad spectrum: A broad-spectrum sunscreen will protect you from both UVA and UVB rays. UVA rays are responsible for premature aging, while UVB rays are responsible for sunburn.


  • Water resistant: If you'll be sweating or swimming, you'll need a sunscreen that is water resistant.


  • Hypoallergenic: If you have sensitive skin, choose a sunscreen that is hypoallergenic.
