Sunscreen should be used on a daily basis to protect your skin from the harmful effects of UV rays. These rays can cause skin damage, premature ageing, and increase the risk of skin cancer. Daily use of sunscreen can help maintain an even skin tone by preventing dark spots and hyperpigmentation.
Sun exposure is one of the leading causes of premature ageing, but using sunscreen daily can help prevent wrinkles, fine lines, and other signs of ageing caused by sun damage.
