Sunburnt customers are always looking for relief. Applying brings a sigh of relief.
• All skin colours require protection against UVA and UVB rays.
• Sand, water (especially the sea), snow, ice and even buildings will reflect UV rays.
• Beach umbrellas only provide ±80% protection against UV rays.
• Sunburn can occur within 15 minutes, but usually occurs within 2-6 hours.
• According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, clouds, fog and moisture only provide as little as 20% protection against UV rays.
• Excessive exposure to the sun’s UV rays is still the no. 1 cause of skin cancer.
• Protect yourself by applying / to exposed skin 15 minutes prior to sun exposure. Repeat after swimming, towel drying and other activities that encourage perspiring.
