How it works
The use of sunscreen will help to protect skin from UV rays. It is recommended to use sunscreen a Skin Protection factor (SPF) of 30 or higher. The higher the SPF value, the better will be the protection. Sunscreen should be used during all outdoor activities, including swimming and whenever you go out in the sun.

Sunscreen is a photoprotective skincare product, which can protect skin from damages caused by sunlight, when applied to areas exposed to light.
