Today, May 27, is the day that reminds us of how important it is to put on sunscreen, as the song by Buzz Luhrmann says "Wear Sunscreen."
Ultraviolet radiation can cause sunburn, skin cancer, sunspots and premature aging. The sunscreen should also be used on cloudy days, because UV rays penetrate through the clouds.
If you live in the northern hemisphere (like about 88% of the world population), then you are entering into summer. If you live in the tropics of the earth (like about 40% of the world's population), you are always in an area with direct sunlight. So, now is the time to purchase a new sunscreen.
If you already have sunscreen, check the expiry date. Most modern fluorescence filters work up to three years. So if you want the cream you put to work (that's the whole idea, isn't it?), You need to replace the protective cream that you have expired.
Another last thing, sunscreen is not only when you go to the sea. Our skin is exposed to the sun even when we are in the car, walking, running, etc., so as the song says:
Wear sunscreen.
If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it.
