Importance of sunscreen

Nearly 90 percent of non-melanoma skin cancer is tied exposure to ultra violet rays. Sixty-percent of melanoma cancer is also tied to this, which is why the use of sunscreen to protect yourself from the harmful rays is very important.

When shopping for a sunscreen to use, it is important to look at the SPF number on the bottle. All sunscreens are measured using an SPF test. This test measures the amount of UV rays that will cause a sunburn when wearing sunscreen compared to when they are not wearing sunscreen. This means that higher the SPF, the more sun protection that the lotion has.

It is important to put sunscreen on, but this does not mean that it will protect you from UV rays all day and it should be reapplied every two hours. Water resistant sunscreen means that the product will still be work when a person is in water for 40 to 80 minutes. For best absorption, it is a good idea to apply sunscreen 30 minutes before getting into the sun.
