Effects of UV Radiation on Skin

UV radiation can lead to skin aging, pigmentation, and skin cancer. Prolonged exposure to UV rays damages collagen and elastic fibers in the skin, resulting in sagging and wrinkles.

Choosing the Right Sunscreen

When choosing a sunscreen, opt for a broad-spectrum product that protects against both UVA and UVB rays. Select a sunscreen with an appropriate SPF (Sun Protection Factor) and choose a formulation suited to your skin type, such as lotion, gel, or spray.

Proper Use of Sunscreen

Apply sunscreen generously to all exposed skin areas. Reapply every two hours, especially after swimming or sweating. Even on cloudy days or indoors, sunscreen use is recommended.
