Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun is the major
cause of skin cancer. Exposure of skin under the sun is pummeled by invisible
rays that can cause your skin to darken and burn. But the good news is that you
can reduce risk of getting skin cancer by protecting yourself from the sun’s UV
rays. Protecting your skin from it does not mean you have to stay indoors all
the time, because being a Sun Warrior means anyone can still enjoy outdoors under
the sun.
“A
SunWarrior, to me, is someone who is unafraid to go under the sun, enjoy the
outdoors, and just have fun,” says resident Sun Warrior Yassi Pressman.
“For me a Sun Warrior is someone who is not afraid to try
out new adventures with friends, family, and someone who is just game for everything,”
add Dominique Roque.
How does one become a Sun Warrior like Yassi and
Dominique? Here are three exciting ways
from Watsons.

Going beyond protection, Olay Natural White prevents the

while Vaseline’s Healthy White SPF 30 provides three layers of protection that
helps keep skin fair and even toned.
Ponds BB Cream is your solution to a brightening foundation cream with
UVA and UVB protection; while Neutrogena’s Ultra MD Body Lotion SPF 100 is fast
absorbing, water resistant, and lightweight, and infused with a light, fresh
scent.
• For an active day
out, get your full sun protection from Nivea Sun Whitening Sun and Collagen
Protection SPF 50, Biore UV aqua Rich SPF 50, Sunplay Ultra Shiled SPF 130,
Banana Boat Ultra Protect Sunscreen Lotion, Hawaiian Tropic Sheer Touch SPF

reapply sunscreen to get that full sun protection. Just remember that while
sunscreen can protect you from the sun’s harmful UV rays, a lot of its active
