As the warmer months begin to roll around, there is one thing that should be at the top of everyone’s mind: Sunscreen. As you start to pack your beach bag, think about what you put inside of it. Does sunscreen make it on your trip to the sand and sea? If not, it should be. Sunscreen is an integral part of skin protection that can protect you from early aging, skin cancer, and more.
1. Reduce Skin Cancer Risk
Did you know that regular use of sunscreen can reduce your risk of skin cancer by roughly 40-50%? Exposure to harmful UV rays can cause skin cancer like melanoma which can be extremely aggressive and life-threatening. Therefore, by using sunscreen, individuals can decrease their risk of developing skin cancer. No matter where one is going, individuals should always apply sunscreen in a thin layer to protect the skin at all times.

2. Fights Premature Aging
A majority of the premature aging of the skin is due to extreme exposure to the sun. This skin aging can include sunspots, wrinkles, and sagging skin. Photoaging, the premature aging of the skin, differs from natural, chronologically aging skin. This type of aging is associated with discolored skin that often has a leathery look to it. Dr. Mayli Davis recommends that sunscreen be worn daily, even during colder days and months, for those who want to maintain their youthful skin.
3.Maintain an Even Skin Tone
Damage from the sun is one of the biggest reasons that individuals acquire an uneven skin tone. Having an uneven appearance to the skin can make a face look dull and lifeless. The way that sunscreen works is by avoiding any dark spots or discoloration from harmful sun exposure. Applying an even layer of sunscreen with at least SPF 15 will help keep skin smooth and even on the face and body. All skin types and tones should invest in proper sunscreen.
