You only need to wear sunscreen if you’re planning on spending the full day in the sun, right? Wrong. Even if it’s overcast, the sun’s UV rays can still find you. After all, clouds are nothing more than water vapor – they don’t provide the same kind of protection as a layer of clothing or sunscreen. Not only can you still get sunburned on a cloudy day, but you’re still at risk for skin damage that can lead to cancer.
Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States and around the world. By the time you hit 70, you have a 1-in-5 chance of developing skin cancer. What’s worse, having 5 or more serious sunburns in your life doubles your risk for melanoma. Skin cancer is nothing to joke about but, as serious as it is, it’s actually fairly easy to prevent. All you need is a healthy habit of wearing sunscreen.
Unfortunately, many people fall prey to myths and misconceptions about sunscreen which prevents them from protecting their skin properly. Here’s what you need to know about SPF.
