Why Wear Sunscreen?

The question is often asked: "Why wear sunscreen...does it really work?" Experts agree that sunscreen is effective. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends everyone use sunscreen that offers the following: Broad-spectrum protection (protects against UVA and UVB rays) SPF 30 or higher and this should be done every single day of the year.

​

Excessive sun exposure, starting as a child, is thought to be the primary cause of skin cancer. Sunbathing and tanning appears to be responsible for the rise in skin cancer rates.

​

Additionally sun exposure is the primary cause of skin aging, brown spots and aging.
