Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the best
answer to each of the questions.
Sunscreen is an essential product for protecting the skin from harmful UV rays. Over the
years, it
has become more advanced and widely available. Sunscreen plays an essential role in
preventing sunburn,
early aging and skin cancer. To protect the skin properly, we need to apply sunscreen
regularly, especially
when spending time outdoors. But have you ever wondered about the history of sunscreen?
The origins of sunscreen are quite interesting. Having been developed over a long period,
this
invention can't be attributed to one individual. In fact, ancient civilisations like the
Egyptians were known
to use oils and natural substances as a form of protection against the sun. Since then,
sunscreen formulas
have been continuously improved. For example, in the 1940s, a Swiss chemistry student
named Franz
Greiter, after getting painfully sunburnt while climbing a mountain, created one of the first
truly effective
sunscreens, which later led to the development of Piz Buin, a well-known sunscreen brand
today.
Research and innovation in the sunscreen industry are still progressing, leading to new
improvements in sun protection products. Many scientists are developing new formulas
that provide
better protection not only from UVB rays but also from UVA rays. This advancement has
been crucial in
reducing skin damage. Sunscreen is now available in many forms: creams, sprays and even
sticks.
Using sunscreen daily is a must, isn't it? We might not always think about it, but UV rays are
present
year-round, even on cloudy days. By applying sunscreen, we ensure that our skin stays
healthy, no
matter the season. So next time you are heading outside, to keep your skin safe, don't forget
to apply a
generous amount of sunscreen.
