According to buying trends, sunscreen is one of the top-selling products beginning in April, as people prepare for more time spent outdoors, vacations planned during the summer, and the like. Wearing sunscreen is important for several reasons:

Protection from UV radiation: Sunscreen helps to protect your skin from the harmful effects of the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Exposure to UV radiation can lead to sunburn, premature aging, and an increased risk of skin cancer.
Preventing skin damage: Sunscreen helps to prevent damage to the skin caused by exposure to the sun’s rays. This damage can include dark spots, fine lines, and wrinkles.
Lower risk of skin cancer: Regular use of sunscreen can significantly lower the risk of developing skin cancer, including melanoma, which is the deadliest form of skin cancer.
Maintaining an even skin tone: Sunscreen can help to maintain an even skin tone by preventing the development of dark spots and hyperpigmentation caused by sun damage.
Reducing the risk of sunburn: Sunburn can be painful and uncomfortable, and wearing sunscreen can help to prevent it. This is especially important for people with fair skin, who are more prone to sunburn.
