Sunburns are painful and can be dangerous, so it’s best to avoid the ultraviolet light from the sun that causes them. One way to minimize the amount of ultraviolet light that hits your skin is to use sunscreen, a product that either reflects the light away or absorbs it.

Here are some resources to learn more about sunburn and sunscreen:
