Sunscreen is like armor for your skin, protecting it from the sun’s harmful rays. SPF, or Sun Protection Factor, measures the level of protection a sunscreen provides against UVB rays, the ones responsible for sunburn and skin damage. Applying sunscreen with a high SPF not only shields you from painful burns but also guards against long-term effects like premature aging and skin cancer. So, whether you’re hitting the beach or just stepping outside, make SPF your skin’s best friend—it’s the ultimate defense against the sun’s powerful rays.
