The importance of renewing your sunscreens every year

Year after year, we wait impatiently for the arrival of summer so we can enjoy the sun. At this point in life we know that protecting our skin from the sun's rays is essential if we want to avoid burns, premature aging or, what is worse, skin cancer and melanoma. However, what many don't know is that reusing last year's sunscreen can have its risks. We tell you what they are and why it is so important to renew your sunscreens every year. Very attentive! 

We know the lesson: we have to apply sunscreen all year round to take care of our skin. However, if we want to do it correctly, many factors must be taken into account. And one of them is the expiration of our sunscreen. Yes, yes, as you read it. Sun protection also expires. And how can we know what the exact date is? 

Sun creams and sun protection products are governed by the PAO, or recommended period of use.. This usually appears on the bottle with the symbol of an open container followed by a number with the letter M. That is the recommended use date, which usually varies between 3 and 24 months. When that time elapses, we must dispose of the sunscreen correctly and purchase a new one so that the protection of our skin is completely effective and safe. 

If your sunscreen doesn't include an expiration date, you should know that the Food and Drug Administration requires that all sunscreens retain their original potency intact for at least three years, as long as they are kept unopened. So, be careful! If your cream has been open for more than a year, it will no longer be effective because the active ingredients that protect the dermis from UV rays become less effective. over time. Your skin will not be as protected and, as a consequence, you will be at greater risk of suffering burns. So, you know, don't play around with the sun and retire your open sunscreens. Your skin will thank you.
