Hazardous Effects of Not Wearing Sunscreen

Not wearing sunscreen may result in various adverse effects on your skin. A sunscreen containing effective UVA and UVB blocking agents is crucial to prevent sunburn, minimise wrinkles, and reduce the risk of skin cancer,

Skin Cancer

Without sunscreen, you are susceptible to developing skin cancers such as basal cell carcinoma or melanoma.

Premature Ageing

 Inadequate protection during sun exposure can lead to premature ageing, causing lines, wrinkles, blemishes, and spots that may make you appear older than your actual age.

Dry and Loose Skin

 Prolonged sun exposure can dry out your skin, and the interaction of UV rays with skin cells may affect the appearance and growth of body tissues.

Scarring

Unprotected sun exposure may result in blistering and peeling, leading to scarring if not treated properly, compounding issues for those addressing old acne scars.

Skin Discolouration

Repeated sun exposure increases melanin production, potentially causing skin damage manifested as dark spots, commonly known as age spots.
