Sunscreen filters out the sun’s dangerous UV (ultraviolet) rays.
These invisible rays can cause skin cancer. Some skin cancers can cause death if not found and treated early.  Who should wear
sunscreen?  People of all skin colors can get skin cancer from the sun’s UV rays. Those who are most likely to get skin cancer from these rays have:

• Lighter natural skin color.
• Skin that burns, freckles, gets red easily, or becomes painful from the sun.
• Blond or red hair.
• Blue or green eyes.
• A family member who has had skin cancer.
• Also, people who spend a lot of time outdoors, either for work or play, are more likely to get skin cancer from UV rays.
