Wearing sunscreen, even when it is cloudy or raining, will dramatically reduce the risk of developing skin cancer. On a cloudy day, 80% of the sun’s rays will still pass through the clouds.

The depletion of the ozone has increased the risk of sun damage by UV rays. Wearing sunscreen will help prevent facial brown spots and skin discoloration from sun damage. Wearing sunscreen will also slow down the breakdown of collagen, which contributes to fine lines, sagging skin, wrinkles, and helps prevent thick and leathery skin.
