SUN SCREEN
Sunscreens help prevent your skin from potentially harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. UV rays can damage your skin in many different ways: from painful sun burn, to premature ageing (the sun contributes to a massive 80% of visible skin ageing), but also potentially leads to skin cancer. Sunscreens use UV filters to shield your skin from the sun, creating a layer which acts a barrier, and hence reduces the risk of getting sun damage.
SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor. It is simply a way of measuring the sunscreen’s ability to protect your skin from damaging UV light. So when deciding what factor to go for, make sure you go high (SPF 30 or higher).
