SUNSCREENS

Sunscreens are products designed to protect the skin from harmful UV rays emitted by the sun. They come in various forms such as lotions, creams, gels, sprays, and sticks. Sunscreens work by either absorbing or reflecting the UV radiation, preventing it from penetrating the skin. They typically contain active ingredients like zinc oxide or titanium dioxide that provide broad-spectrum protection against both UVA and UVB rays. It is recommended to apply sunscreen generously and frequently, especially during prolonged sun exposure, to reduce the risk of sunburn, premature aging, and skin cancer.
