Why do we have to wear sunscreen? - Kevin P. Boyd?

Sunscreen is like a special shield that helps protect our skin from the sun’s rays, which can make it feel hot and hurt it over time.

Imagine you're outside playing on a sunny day, and the sun feels really warm. That's because the sun sends out tiny invisible beams called UV rays, and they can go right through your skin like little sneaky guests.

Think of your skin as a cookie. If you leave it in the oven too long without any protection, it will get burned, just like how your skin can get sunburned if it's out in the sun too much.

Sunscreen is like putting on a raincoat for your skin, and it blocks some of those sneaky UV rays so they don't cause too much trouble. Some kinds of sunscreen are like a strong raincoat, blocking most of the sun’s beams, while others are more like a light jacket that lets in a little bit.

Wearing sunscreen is just one way to keep your skin happy and healthy when you're playing outside!
