Importance of Applying Sunscreens
Many of us have the misconception that we only have to wear sunscreens when it is sunny or when we head to the beach. However, sunscreens should be worn even on cloudy days to prevent exposure to UV rays. In fact, it should be a habit that we all pick up.
As the ozone layer depletes, there is increased risk of us experiencing sun damage, such as sunburn and skin cancer, from the harmful UV rays. Applying sunscreen of at least SPF30 greatly helps to block these rays from penetrating into our skin.
Furthermore, UV rays could cause photoaging of the skin, characterized by a thick, leathery look; discoloration; and a breakdown of collagen. This leads to wrinkles, sagging and an uneven skin tone. According to studies, those below age 55 who apply sunscreen regularly have 24 percent less chance of developing these signs of aging than those who don’t.
