Why do we need sunscreen?
Sunscreen is needed only by girls.
We manage with creams, we don’t need sunscreen.
These are some of the arguments that Indian men usually give to avoid using sunscreen. These arguments are given because you may think that sunscreen is just a fashion or a cream to get a fair complexion.
Actually it is not so. It is very important for Indian men to use sunscreen. Because, India is a tropical country, the sun rays fall directly and strongly here, the level of pollution is high.
Due to strong sunlight, apart from sunburn, you are also at risk of diseases like skin pigmentation, skin cancer. Sunscreen protects you well from this danger.
Anyway, your skin has to bear a lot in the sun. So do not forget to keep sunscreen with you in winter or summer. Whether you are sweating in the sun or relaxing on the beach, this first-aid will always come in handy if you get a sunburn.
