sun-safety quiz part 3
please read from
part 1 &
part 29) When does sunscreen expire?
Answer:
After three yearsWhy?Unless the expiry date says otherwise, sunscreen lasts for up to three years. If, however, you keep the bottle in your car on hot summer days, the heat will cause the sunscreen compounds to break down, which means your sunscreen won't last as long.
10) Darker lenses on sunglasses offer better protection from ultraviolet rays than do lighter sunglass lenses.
Answer:
FalseWhy?The shade of the lens doesn't tell you whether it protects your eyes from the sun's rays. In fact, you won't be able to see any difference between lenses that block the ultraviolet rays and those that don't.
Look for a manufacturer's label that says the sunglasses block 99 percent or 100 percent of all ultraviolet light. To be even more effective, choose sunglasses that fit close to your face or have wraparound frames that block sunlight from all angles.
How well did you fare? Managed to get all the questions right??
Hope these 3 posts increased your knowledge about sun care!
