The findings underscore the importance of using sunscreen to protect against harmful UV rays, which can cause sunburn, premature aging, and skin cancer. While lotions provide more reliable coverage, sprays may pose risks such as uneven application or inhalation. Individuals spending extended time outdoors, especially during peak sunlight hours, are most at risk. The report highlights that even sunscreens with lower-than-advertised SPF still offer significant protection compared to no sunscreen at all.
