Skin care is important regardless of skin type or age. At an early age, it is crucial to maintain good skin health for better looking and better feeling skin in the future. Some of us spend countless hours in the sun for different reasons. Others may decide to sunbathe every once in a while. The importance of sun cream should be noted regardless of your lifestyle to improve skin condition and reduce aging.

Reasons for Using Sun Cream

As a means to an end, sun cream helps with multiple issues that may arise, including harm from excessive rays. Here are a few reasons to use sun cream whenever possible.

Sunburn

This occurs due to excessive heat touching the skin. With prolonged hours in the sun, your skin may feel like it is burning. For those with less pigmentation, or lighter skin, the skin becomes red. In extreme cases, you may experience a burning sensation or worse yet, scorching or irritation. This sunburn is not good for the skin. Others may endure difficulty in moving their arms, legs, or even their backs. Sun cream reduces the effects of UV rays on the skin leaving it protected and feeling normal.

Skin Cancer

Extreme or prolonged exposure to UV rays from the sun and tanning beds can lead to skin cancer. This should be noted when kids are left to play in the skin for extended periods. Also, older folks need to apply sun cream to reduce the damage it causes to aging skin. Skin cancer can be prevented using sun cream with recommended SPF ratings. These ratings establish the extent to which UV rays will be blocked from reaching or harming your skin. Think of these ratings as the armor for healthier skin.

Faster Skin Aging

With skin cancer and sunburn being a possibility without sun cream, the risk of faster aging increases too. This aging is regarding your skin. Wrinkles may appear earlier than expected and with adverse effects too. One may need to use stronger facial creams and skin lotions to hide wrinkles. Further, you may begin considering using heavier makeup. This can be avoided with the use of sun cream regardless of your skin type; whether you are deep in melanin or have lighter complexions.

Recommendations 

Using sun cream on the entire body is essential particularly as you lie on the beach. It helps cover arms, legs, your neck, and of course your back. Apply it sparingly all over your body to prevent sunburn and the risk of getting skin cancer. Again, the best sun cream will depend entirely on how much or where you plan to apply it. Higher ratings of SPF help protect the skin better.

Additionally, there is no harm in taking an extra bottle along with you, to the beach or during travels. This ensures you never run out when you most need it. Pay particular attention to kids as they go sunbathing and apply sun cream repeatedly to avoid skin conditions in the future.
