   We all love to look good, right? What if you ignore getting adequate 
protection against sun exposure and end up burning your skin? As you 
know, harmful UV rays can damage your skin. If you are someone who 
loves spending time outdoors or working outside most of the day, it 
pays to get adequate protection with quality sunscreen.
   Unchecked UV radiation reaching your skin can degrade the skin quality. 
You might experience sunburn in the initial stages. Prolonged sun 
exposure might wrinkle your skin, and you wouldn’t like these signs of 
premature aging. Under severe conditions, UV exposure can also lead to 
skin cancer.
How can sunscreen protect you from UV rays?
1. Sunscreen prevents sunburns
    Sunburns can be painful as well as depredatory to your skin. To prevent 
your skin from these awful sunburns, it’s imperative to use good 
sunscreen. When you purchase sunscreen, closely check the SPF value. 
Sunscreens with higher SPF value give you better protection. Currently, 
you have products with SPF values ranging between 15 and 50 in the 
market. Depending on your skin type and the duration of sun exposure, 
you need to use the right type of sunscreen.
2. Reduces chances of skin cancer
    Well, you might be using sunscreen to retain the glamour of your skin. In 
reality, sunscreen lotions and gels go a long way in reducing the chances of 
skin cancer. With this protective layer, your skin remains shielded against 
different types of skin cancer. With age, your sun exposure might increase, 
which makes you more susceptible to skin cancer. Using branded sunscreen 
can protect you from this disease.
3. Prevents premature aging
    Maintaining healthy skin holds the secret to preventing premature aging. 
No wonder why beauty and fashion enthusiasts use sunscreen to keep their 
skins intact. The last thing you would expect is extended sun exposure 
causing fine lines, wrinkles, pigmentation, or sun spots. It can also cause dry 
skin and photodamage. According to studies, people using sunscreen below 
the age of 55 were 24% less likely to experience this type of skin damage.
4. Prevents skin damage during the tanning
   While you love those reddish tans on your skin, did you take adequate 
protection against the harmful UV rays? While light tan is healthy, the 
harsh UVB rays of the sun can damage your skin. Therefore, you need 
sunscreen to prevent tanning caused by UVB. Every two hours, you 
need to reapply the sunscreen. Apply the lotion or gel after your 
exercise, as it might get washed away as you sweat.
5. Enhances skin health
    One of the best reasons to use sunscreen is its ability to protect 
essential skin proteins. This includes elastin, keratin, and collagen. These 
proteins are necessary to maintain healthy skin. Your sunscreen should 
contain titanium dioxide, which reflects the UV rays back from the skin. 
This enables the proteins in the skin to do their work.
    Considering the damage quotient of UV rays, it makes sense to use 
quality sunscreen. Get sunscreen while you work outdoors or enjoy your 
time sitting by the beach.
