Why is a sunscreen lotion important? The skin, unlike any other sensory organ of the body, is forever exposed to the sun, pollution, rain and other weather conditions that can prove to be harmful for it. The skin acts like the perfect shield from weather changes, infections, allergies but itself is prone to falling prey to the harmful effects of the UV rays of the sun. Without a proper skin regime, the skin eventually loses its shine and attraction further inviting damage from the UVA and UVB rays of the sun. So as to protect itself from damage, the skin produces Melanin. This Melanin causes the darkening of the skin which, in layman language, is known as sun tan. Sun tan is of various kinds. Adverse effects of a sun tan can be permanent darkness, pigmentation, sun burn and scars. In worst cases, the skin is exposed to risk of skin cancer. Lilac protects against tanning & Sun-Burn.
