The importance of Sun-block

Many people go to the beaches especially during summer. But, oops, before enjoying the waters, one must never forget to apply sun-block. With the damaged ozone layer, UV rays which may cause skin cancer, can easily penetrate. People’s misconception of sun-block is that it is applied to prevent darkening of the skin that is exposed to heat, but the fact is, it does not actually prevent darkening. Its main function is to protect the skin from the sun’s UV rays, which is harmful to the skin.

Don't forget the UV protective clothing! Surfers have used rash guard shirts for years but it's just recently that the SPF 150+ protection these shirts provide while you're in the water has been discovered by the rest of the beach going population.
