Summer is here! As you’re reaching for your sunglasses and flip-flops and packing your beach bag, don’t forget that seasonal necessity—sunscreen!
If you’re one of the many people who see sunscreen as a greasy hassle, here are a few sun facts that may cause you to rethink it:
- Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the United States. Current estimates are that one in five Americans will develop skin cancer in their lifetime (American Academy of Dermatology)
- Regardless of its SPF strength, The Skin Cancer Foundation recommends reapplying sunscreen every two hours.
- SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor. The number tells you how long the sun’s UVB rays would take to redden your skin if you apply the sunscreen exactly as directed compared with the amount of time without sunscreen. (Skin Cancer Foundation)
- Even when it’s cloudy, up to 80 percent of the sun’s UV radiation reaches the earth. (Skin Cancer Foundation)
- The US Food and Drug Administration recommends using at least a shot glass-sized amount of sunscreen for each application.
