How important is it to wear sunscreen?

Sunscreen is one of the things that you can’t forget during the summer days.  It’s effective and protective against the sun and you can’t go out without it.  Even though you think the sun is not shining during a warm sunny day, the sun is still there.

 

The power of sunscreen

The power of the sun is often underestimated, while the sun is super powerful.  If we are in the sun for too long our skin starts to burn.  Unfortunately, many people underestimate it, and this can cause unpleasant consequences within the worst-case developing skin cancer in adulthood.  Your skin will also age more quickly in the form of wrinkles and pigment.  The older you get, the less resilient your skin becomes.

Anointing once a day is not enough.  Even though you think your sunscreen is still working properly, this is not the case.  In the perfect situation you rub in every two hours for maximum protection.

 

Spray, lotion or cream?

What is the best choice?  It doesn’t really matter much.  It is more what your personal preference is.  Lotions and gel contain more water, so that makes them easier to spread.  Creams contain more fats that can prevent the skin from drying out.  Besides cream lasts longer than lotion if, for example, you enter the water.
