What is the key benefit of sunscreens?

  1. Increase product penetration

  2. Protect the skin from the sun

  3. Soft continuous stroking movement

  4. Kneading pinching movement

The correct answer is: Protect the skin from the sun

The key benefit of sunscreens is to protect the skin from the harmful effects of the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays. Sunscreens help prevent sunburn, premature aging, and reduce the risk of skin cancer by creating a barrier that reflects or absorbs the UV radiation before it can penetrate the skin. It is crucial to apply sunscreen regularly, especially when spending time outdoors to maintain healthy and radiant skin.
