What is Sunscreen?
Sunscreen is a substance that is rubbed onto your skin which is used as a shield to block out the UV rays from affecting your skin cells. There are lots of different types of sunscreen that people use. Depending on who you are, if you have sensitive skin you would probably use SPF 50+ which is 20 times stronger than SPF 30+ sunscreen, if you are playing sport and it is out side you might use sunscreen which doesn't get affected when you sweat while playing and usually called sport sunscreen. There are different types of sunscreens that can be used for different occasions. Some sun protection can be water resistant for when you are going swimming.
