How nice is summer? The days are longer, the atmosphere is more joyful, kids are out of school… And the Sun! Finally, our skin gets caressed by the warmth of the sun rays, all day long. Enjoyable right? Not so much…
The Sun is a radiant star and gives us the warmth we dread after long winter days. As much as it has its benefits, the Sun causes damage to our skin. Which is exactly why we should wear sunscreen. While you do need the sun for some vitamin D, it shouldn’t be a reason why you should put your health at risk. Here are 5 reasons why you should wear sunscreen:
It prevents premature aging
“ I’d be okay with wrinkles by the time I reach my thirties ” – said no one ever.
We all love having a younger looking, radiant and healthy skin. By wearing sunscreen, you protect that youthfulness and prevent those early wrinkles caused by the sun’s UV lights.
Lowers skin cancer risks
Most of us are aware of this fact. To reduce skin cancer risks, sunscreen is your way to go, and that applies to any skin tones / skin types.
Prevents sunburns
This is quite an obvious one. To prevent irritating sunburns, applying sunscreen will not only help, but also keep your skin safe.
Enhances health of the skin
The essential skin proteins like collagen, keratin and elastin, are required for keeping your skin smooth and healthy, a benefit for all of us. The use of sunscreen protects those essentials that are so important for our skin.
Shields from harmful UV rays
Applying sunscreen blocks the harmful rays, caused by the depleting ozone layer, from penetrating your skin and triggering some skin disorders.
Overall, sunscreen should be everyone’s best friend. Just by applying the cream, you are instantly shielding your skin from any skin disorders and keeping a skin full of life!
