Sunscreen is a must in every season, I swear by it and have always been preaching to my family, friends and co-workers the benefits of wearing sunscreen. But there still are an alarming amount of people who brave the UVA rays without applying sunscreen. In fact even if you’re indoors, chances are there’s a UV rays  which can damage the epidermis of your skin. Sunburn isn’t the only side effect from an overexposure to harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays. Other serious health problems can arise from sun exposure, including premature aging of the skin, eye damage such as cataracts, suppression of the immune system, and even skin cancer. Further damage from the harmful UVA rays from the sun can lead to Skin cancer. So, its not  “okay” to skip it.
