They tell you to use sunscreen lotion and here are a few reasons why....
ᴿᴹ Reduce the risk of skin cancer
The skin emits harmful ultra-violet rays, which can increase the risk of developing skin cancer. Studies have found that one in five people ages over 70 years will develop skin cancer. By using sunscreen lotion on a daily basis, you are dramatically reducing the likelihood of developing skin cancer.
ᴿᴹ Protection from sun burn
Exposure to the sun with no sunscreen can lead to sunburn; the skin can become inflamed, red and sore. Sunscreen should be reapplied throughout the day to minimise sunburn and damage.Severe sunburn may appear with blister sores and these may be treated with prescribed topical ointments.
ᴿᴹ Prevent premature ageing of the skin
Over time, through repeated sun exposure, the elasticity, collagen and skin cells become damaged. This can lead to sunspots, fine lines, wrinkles, discolouration as well as thick leathery appearance to the skin. This can be reduced or prevented by using sunscreen lotion.
ᴿᴹ Avoid discolouration
Liver spots, also known as sun spots, are skin discolouration, often appearing as brown or tanned spots. They can appear on a person's face, hands, arms and head and affect both men and women. Sunscreen lotion can help to prevent liver spots from appearing.
