The sun is the ultimate culprit for skin ageing and excessive exposure can weaken the skin’s immunity to the sun and lead to skin cancer. According to WHO, nearly 30 million people in India suffers sun tanning every year; out of which two to three million of them are teenagers. More than 90% of the visible changes commonly attributed to skin ageing are caused by the sun.
Using sunscreen lotion or cream is a must factor during summers. Sunscreen concept was originally created by Austrian scientist Franz Greiter. Sunscreen also commonly known as sunblock, sun tan lotion, sunburn cream is a lotion, spray, gel or other topical product that absorbs or reflects some of the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) radiation on the skin exposed to sunlight and thus helps protect against sunburn.
Taking care of your skin can protect you from the harsh rays especially ultraviolet rays of the sun and lower your risks of developing skin cancer. It doesn't matter if you are male or female; you need photo protection every time you step out in sun.
