Sunscreen is a Must: Doctors Explain Why You Need It This Summer

• Sunscreen is crucial in summer to protect skin from intense sunlight and rising temperatures.
• Harmful UV rays cause sunburn, tanning, hyperpigmentation, premature wrinkles, and increase skin cancer risk.
• Dr. Yugal Rajput emphasizes that UV rays damage skin's upper layer and cause premature aging, leading to permanent cell damage.
• Use sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher, apply 15-20 minutes before going out, and reapply every 2-3 hours, even indoors or on cloudy days.
• Sunscreen is an essential part of skin protection; combine with hats, umbrellas, sunglasses, full-sleeved clothing, hydration, and a balanced diet.
