sun protection

Sun protection involves using methods to shield your skin from the harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation emitted by the sun. UV rays can cause sunburn, premature aging, and increase the risk of skin cancer. Effective protection includes applying broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30, wearing protective clothing such as long sleeves and wide-brimmed hats, seeking shade during peak sunlight hours (10 a.m. to 4 p.m.), and wearing UV-blocking sunglasses. These measures help prevent skin damage, keeping your skin healthier and reducing long-term health risks.
