Sunscreen or what we are familiar with sunscreen is an important part of skin care regimen. Someone who does not use sunscreen has a higher risk of having wrinkles, as well as fine lines on the face.
Exposure to direct sunlight can also cause the skin to become dark. Unfortunately, most sunscreens sold on the market contain many chemicals that can have an adverse effect on skin health.
