How does sunscreen prevent skin cancer?
By protecting the skin from sunlight, sunscreen prevents the development of skin cancer. Skin cancers will require surgeries to treat, and may even kill you.
Sunlight contains ultraviolet (UV) light, which can be divided into 3 sub-types – UV-C (100-290 nm), UV-B (290-320 nm), and UV-A (320-400).
