The countdown to summer is on! It’s time to dust off your passport, dig out your beach clothes and get ready to have some fun in the sun. Ensure your well-deserved holiday isn’t spoilt by feeling the burn of the sun by checking out the best sun creams available right here at Savers.
But before you
start eagerly adding to your basket… here’s a quick low-down on why sun cream
should be at the top of your holiday shopping list.
Why is sun cream so important?
Painful red
skin and awkward tan lines are enough to put a downer on your holiday on their
own! However, there are lots more reasons as to why you should never be too far
from a bottle of sun cream this summer…
Wearing sun cream every day (yes, even when it’s looking a little cloudy outside) will dramatically decrease your chances of developing skin cancer.
Over exposure to the sun is a major cause of premature ageing of your skin, so applying sun cream on a regular basis will help you look younger for longer.
If you have young kids, show them that wearing, and regularly reapplying, sun cream is cool!
When you’re in the sun, it’s not just burns that you need to be aware of. Wearing sun cream along with other precautions, such as drinking plenty of water, can help ward off heatstroke and heat exhaustion, too.
Understanding sun creams
When choosing
the right sun cream for you and your family, you want to find a formula that
protects you all from both UVA and UVB rays.
The SPF factor
protects against UBV rays, which are the ones that burn you. Whereas the PA
rating protects you from UVA rays which penetrate further into your skin
causing premature ageing.
The SPF rating
is displayed with a number (the higher the better) and the PA rating is shown
with a series of + (again, the more the better).
If you need a
way to remember it, try ‘UVA for ageing’ and ‘UVB for burning’!
