Sunscreen is an important preventive health care habit that should be maintained all year, including the winter months and it protects the skin from the harmful ultraviolet radiation. What does sunscreen help?

  • Reduce the risk of skin cancer

Too much UV radiation from the sun or sunbeds can damage the DNA in our skin cells. DNA tells our cells how to function. If enough DNA damage builds up over time, it can cause cells to start growing out of control, which can lead to skin cancer. By applying sunscreen, there will be lower risk of skin cancer as it protects our skin from UV radiation. 

  • Prevents aging

Sun exposure from little to no protection can damage collagen and skin cells which will lead to wrinkles and discoloration. These skin issues are preventable with daily use of sunscreen.

  • Lower the risk of sunburn

Sunscreens contain substances that either absorb or reflect the sun's UV rays and prevent most of it from penetrating the skin and damaging skin cells. 

  • Prevent Skin Discoloration

Sun spots can develop on the face, arms, hand and head due to long exposure to the sunlight. Applying sunscreen periodically throughout the day can prevent those spots getting on the skin. 

  • Reduce Inflammation

By using a sunscreen that's rich in antioxidants, it can also help to soothe angry skin and calm inflammation.

So, please choose your right sunscreen carefully and apply it daily. Hope this helps you and have a great time.
