Do you know why you need sunscreen for skin protection? How does skin work to protect us from harmful ultraviolet radiation? When you use sunscreen, it can help to protect yourself from damaging UV rays.

Even on a cloudy day, the skin is susceptible to the sun’s rays and it can cause skin cancer, discolouration and wrinkles over a long period.

You can protect your skin by applying sunscreen each morning and again throughout the day. Let's find out why you need to use sunscreen daily and how it can help you.

Reduce the risk of sunburn

Protecting your skin and preventing sunburns is very crucial. Dermatologists always put emphasis on protecting your skin. Sunburn can happen from spending extended periods of time outside with no sunscreen. If you continuously get sunburns, it can damage your skin and can cause skin cancer, premature wrinkly and many other skin issues.

Prevent ageing

If you want to prevent the science of ageing, you will need to use sunscreen regularly. If you get repeated sun exposure with little or no protection, then the exposure may damage your elastin, collagen and skin cells. Over a long duration, it will cause premature ageing of your skin, including discolouration, wrinkles, fine lines and a letter appearance. If you spend too much time in the sun without sunscreen, premature ageing can easily happen to you even when you are in your 20s and 30s. You can prevent that by simply using daily sunscreen.

Reduce the risk of skin cancer

If you want to reduce your risk of skin cancer, you need to use sunscreen daily. Use it even when it is cloudy. This is one of the best ways to prevent skin cancer. Use a minimum of SPF 30 sunscreen multiple times every day. You can also use a higher level SPF. People who spend more time outdoors need to apply sunscreen every two hours.

Prevent skin discolouration

If you want to prevent skin discolouration and look beautiful and younger, you will need to use daily sunscreen. Living with areas of skin discolouration can be difficult, even when they appear later in life. These areas of discolouration or known as sunspots or liver spots and they are usually brown. They may develop on the face, head, hands and arms. This type of discolouration may happen to both men and women. If you apply sunscreen critically throughout your day, you can easily prevent these calls from appearing on your skin.
