Sunscreen Protection Day

Sunscreen Protection Day is a very important health holiday. It educates and brings awareness to the importance of using sunscreen to protect yourself and your children from harmful UV rays from the sun. When we first get outside in the sun, our skin is not yet acclimated to the increasing intensity of the sun. As a result, we easily get sunburns.

Ultraviolet rays from the sun are a serious risk to your health. With the steady depletion of the ozone layer above the earth, more and stronger UV rays get through. Overexposure to the sun can cause several health problems. It can cause skin cancer and sunspots. It can also result in premature aging of your skin.
