The sun gives off damaging ultraviolet rays that cause sunburn and cancer.

The best way to protect from them is to use sunscreen as part of your skin care method. Damage from the sun causes premature aging as well.

There are many different brands on the market.

The rays that cause cancer are UVA and UVB. Skin cancer is the most prominent form of cancer in the United States, with over one million cases annually.

The sun damages the skin's delicate layers and destroys the parts that give skin its youthful glow and supple tone. Sun exposure also causes aging spots. An SPF of fifteen or more is your best bet for protecting against the sun's dangerous rays. Certain moisturizers and men's aftershave contain sunscreen and can be used for daily protection. Look around for different kind and see if you can get one that has sunscreen in it for the best protection. Sun damage also causes wrinkles and sagging and advanced aging to the skin.

It is under the layers of skin so cannot be seen and the damage is not known until well later on.

The skin can look weathered and aged from too much sun. A process from the sun called photoaging causes fine lines around the eyes. Once damage from the sun has happened it can't be reversed. Some surgeries and creams work well but it's better to not have much sun damage to begin with. Adults over the age of six are recommended to wear sunscreen. Children under six should not be exposed to the sun for prolonged periods of time. Even if it's cloudy outside, the sun's rays can still be harmful. After swimming or sweating, sunscreen should be reapplied.

If you like to tan, don't burn, and can't seem to give up sun exposure, at least buy a tanning cream that has sunscreen in it.

You'll still tan, it will just take longer, and the harmful rays of the sun are blocked better. Sunless options like self tanning sprays and lotions are also available.

They are more advanced now so there's no orange tint. A self tanning product is low risk and dyes the top layer of skin only.

The worst that can happen is an allergic reaction or a rash. Some self tanners contain SPF, so be sure to at least have an SPF of 15 to have maximum protection. Some sunscreens have more protection than others and are better at protecting from the UV rays.

There is even a product on the market now that is supposed to deflect the sun by one hundred percent. Be sure to always check labels before buying so you know what level of protection you're getting.

It's always a good idea to wear sunscreen before going out for a long time and having more exposure to the sun.

Your skin will thank you and stay more healthy. Be sure to always have it when going out on the water reapply after every activity. Swimming especially can wash off the much needed sunscreen.
Using sunscreen is an essential part of a skin care regimen.

It helps protect you from the sun's dangerous ultra-violet (UV) rays and protect against harmful sunburn. More info on sunscreens .
