JAKARTA - The skin is one part of the body that is of great concern. Skin health, especially on the face, greatly affects one's appearance.

For that, our skin needs to be protected not only from pollution, but also from sunlight to maintain overall skin health. Because excessive exposure to sunlight can have a negative impact on skin health.

Harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays, namely UVA, UVB, and UVC can cause sunburn, premature aging (photoaging), dark spots, and even increase the risk of skin cancer. Therefore, it is very important to take preventive measures to protect the skin.

If you do outdoor activities, in addition to wearing sun protection clothing, it is important to wear sunscreen with an SPF of 50 or higher for all skin that is not covered by clothing. Because using sunscreen regularly can provide protection against sun exposure which can damage the skin. Here are some reasons why using sunscreen is so important:

1. ​Protects from UV rays: Sunscreen with SPF (Sun Protection Factor) helps protect skin from damaging UV-A and UV-B rays. This helps reduce the risk of sunburn, skin cancer, and long-term skin damage.

3.​ Prevent hyperpigmentation: Excessive sun exposure can cause dark spots or hyperpigmentation to appear on the skin. By using sunscreen regularly, we can reduce the risk of developing hyperpigmentation and keep the skin bright and even.
