What happens if I don't wear sunscreen?

If you don't wear sunscreen, your skin is more likely to suffer from sunburn, premature aging, and an increased risk of skin cancer. The harmful ultraviolet rays from the sun can damage your skin cells, leading to various long-term effects. Over time, this damage can result in changes in skin texture, pigmentation, and overall health.

Key points:

  • Sunburn occurs due to direct exposure to UV rays.
