The skin is a natural barrier protecting the body and, that is why, it must also be properly protected to prevent damage to the body. It is recommended to apply the sunscreen every day, because the sun's rays are still harmful in the other seasons besides summer.
The application of sunscreen prevents problems like skin cancer, burns, acne, collagen loss, aging stains and signs, which are the wrinkles, sagging and fine lines.
Ultraviolet rays are great villains of the skin and must be combated even on cloudy days, rainy or where you want to stay at home or just in the office, as the lights of the environment and cellular and computer screens also emit this radiation.
The photoaging caused by this type of light can be prevented with the use of sunscreen, combined with a routine daily skin care.
