"Sunscreen is the most important thing that we can put on every single day," said Chavie, a licensed esthetician. "It is the first line of defense in protecting against skin cancer and diseases."
She recommends using a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30. Remember to reapply every few hours.
She also said you should replace your sunscreen every year because it can become less effective over time.
