PRINCE GEORGE – The warm weather has finally arrived, bringing with it the perfect opportunity to spend more time outdoors and soak up the sun. Whether you’re off to the beach, hitting the hiking trails, or simply unwinding in your backyard, it’s crucial to safeguard your skin.

While many people do apply sunscreen regularly, not everyone understands the meaning of SPF or how it actually protects the skin. Using sunscreen is essential because it protects against harmful UV rays, which can cause sunburn, accelerate skin aging, and increase the risk of skin cancer.

Health experts recommend applying sunscreen every time you step outside and using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 to ensure adequate protection.

Don’t forget to reapply sunscreen every two hours, or more frequently if you’re swimming or sweating. Even on overcast days, the sun’s UV rays can still reach your skin, making sunscreen a must-have for everyday use.
