The sun is shining, you've put on your favourite summer outfit and you're ready to head out. But have you thought about your skin? Whether you're having drinks on a terrace, shopping, or spending the whole day outdoors - sun protection isn't optional, it's essential.
In Belgium, we often underestimate UV radiation. Even on a cloudy day, up to 80% of UV rays penetrate through the clouds. The result: premature skin aging, pigmentation spots and, in the worst case, skin cancer.
