While watching the local News Today on my NOW TV Channel, it was mentioned that Tomorrow is a very important Topical event. Which should really be taken seriously! As it is "National Sunscreen Day" ☀️

Also this date is listed on the "National Holiday" Calendar for Friday 28th May 2021.

So I thought it would be helpful to gain a bit more knowledge about this "Sun Protection" event. As we move much closer to Summer, we all need to be more careful and also aware of how powerful the Sun can be soon.

Below is some important factual information for this event...

Believe or not (ask a Boomer or a Gen-X-er), even up to the 1980s, there were dozens if not hundreds of “bronzers” and “suntan lotions” on the market that not only didn’t block UV rays before they hit your skin but were designed to enhance the sun’s effect, granting a deep tan in the shortest amount of time possible. Attribute it to a thicker ozone layer back then, or a simple lack of scientific knowledge, but there was no buzz at all surrounding the acronym “SPF.”

Today, we know the true dangers of the sun’s rays (and those of UV tanning beds) and the carcinoma and melanoma we could be afflicted with if we lack proper protection. It was only recently that the National Council on Skin Cancer Prevention designated a special day to learn about how we can protect ourselves. In short, your health should come before that “copper tone.”

Easily enough to guess, sunscreen is the number one weapon in the battle against UV-caused skin cancers. If you have to get that golden tan, make sure to conscientiously apply an SPF 30 or comparable product. Then, jump into the fun of summer, knowing you’re protected!
