FIVE REASONS TO USE SUNSCREEN
AGING
Ultraviolet A (UVA) rays are not absorbed by the ozone layer and will penetrate deep into the skin, causing premature aging. 90% of premature aging is caused by sun exposure. UVB rays are the primary cause of sunburns and mostly affect the surface of the skin.
SKIN CANCER
According to the American Cancer Society, 1 in 5 Americans will develop some type of skin cancer in their lifetime. If you are Caucasian, you odds of skin cancer increase to 1 in 3.
PRIME TIME TO BURN
The National Weather Service issues the UV index, a daily forecast of UV rays. The higher the UV index the stronger the sun will be. The UV index is at its peak from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on summer days.
SKIERS BEWARE
Sand reflects 17% of UV rays but snow reflects 80%. UV rays increase 4% for every 1,ooo-foot climb in altitude.
DAILY APPLICATION
80% of the sun's UV rays can pass through clouds, making sunscreen a daily requirement, even on overcast days.
