As global rates of skin cancer increase, research confirms that climate change is a contributing factor.

As summer approaches and the sun's intensity increases, protecting your skin from its harmful rays becomes more important than ever. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in the United States, and UV radiation from the sun is responsible for 90% of non-melanoma skin cancers. But how long does sunscreen provide protection on your skin, and how long does it last in its container? These are important questions to consider in order to ensure that you're getting the most out of your sunscreen and keeping your skin safe from the sun's harmful effects. In this article, we'll explore the science behind sunscreens and their longevity to help you better understand how to protect your skin.

Taking care of your skin is an often overlooked but essential part of your health. When it comes to sun safety, the best sunscreen is one you'll use every day. We’ve surveyed many people about sunscreen and despite personal preferences, we’ve noticed some trends in what people look for.
