Do you take care of your skin? It's about more than putting on some sunscreen when you're by the pool or at the beach. Sunscreen should be a part of everyday life - all year long! We've got three reasons why sunscreen is so important, and three things to remember before every encounter with the sun.

Why wear sunscreen?
- Prevents sunburn. This is pretty obvious but still important. There's nothing worse than a bad sunburn.
- Decreases the chances of skin cancer. This is the one that isn't thought of so often. Sunscreen protects you from those cancer-causing UV rays.
- Prevents aging. UV rays, over time, can increase aging effects on your skin. Protect your skin before that happens!
And remember:
- Select the right SPF level. You should apply AT LEAST SPF 30 sunscreen every application.
- Put it on 30 minutes before sun exposure. It says this on the bottle, but often gets ignored. Apply sunscreen before you head to the pool, not when you get there!
- Don't forget to reapply. Sunscreen should be reapplied after two hours or after your skin gets wet. It's not a "set it and forget it" situation!
