Myths about sunscreens

Myth one: sunscreens are not needed, marketers force them on us

In fact, creams are really necessary. In people who are exposed to the sun sporadically, the skin does not have time to adapt, so the risk of burns and melanoma is higher. In addition, creams moisturize the skin.

Myth two: highly protective creams can be applied once a day

In fact, they need to be applied every 1-2 hours. The more often, the more reliable the protection.

Myth three: the higher the protection factor, the more reliable the cream

In fact, the difference between odds of 10 and 60 is not that big in terms of efficiency. A high ratio can hide burns.

Myth four: highly protective creams are dangerous to health

This applies to older UV-A protection creams. Modern ones protect against UV-A and UV-B.

Myth five: dark-skinned people don’t need protection

In fact, everyone gets burns, just at different times. Everyone needs protection.
