Summer is here and the heat is on! More often than not, people spend more time outdoors in the sun during this season. Do you protect your skin?
Sunscreens can help prevent sunburn, reduce your risk of getting skin cancer, and it could also help prevent premature aging. So when you’re selecting a sunscreen, remember to read the label and look for these key factors:
- Broad spectrum. This will help protect your skin from UVA and UVB rays.
- SPF 30 or higher. This is a dermatology recommended SPF rating.
- Water resistant. This will help stay on wet or sweaty skin for longer periods before you need to reapply.
Protecting your skin is important year-round, especially when you’re spending more time outdoors.
