Why does suncream effect your skin?

Sunscreen protects your skin by absorbing or reflecting harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun, which can cause sunburn, premature aging, and increase the risk of skin cancer. It contains active ingredients, such as chemical filters or physical blockers, that create a barrier against UV rays. Regular application helps maintain skin health and prevents damage from prolonged sun exposure. Additionally, some formulations may include moisturizing agents that benefit skin hydration.
