Is sunscreen as important as beauty gurus make it sound?do i need to wear it everyday?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sunscreen: A high SPF sunscreen (over 50) or so protects your skin from the harmful radiation from the sun. Over along periods of time if your skin is exposed to this radiation without screening (clothing or creams) it does become damaged and can also regress to early skin cancers
