Summer is almost here – and that means it’s time to whip your springtime sun safety habits back into shape! As the warmer weather approaches, it might be tempting to enjoy a few afternoons of sunshine without paying attention to your skin. Don’t be fooled – just a few hours of exposure to UV rays without SPF protection can be enough to promote hyperpigmentation, darken existing scars, and increase your odds for damaging skin diseases.
