The Importance of Sunscreen in Iraq's Climate — Why You Can't Skip It

In a country where temperatures exceed 50°C in summer and the sun shines more than 300 days a year, sunscreen is not a luxury — it's a health necessity.

Why is sunscreen essential in Iraq?

UVA rays cause premature skin aging and wrinkles. UVB rays cause burns and pigmentation. Both increase the risk of skin cancer. In Iraq, the UV index reaches very high levels most days of the year.

How to choose the right sunscreen?

1. SPF 50 minimum: In Iraq's climate, SPF 30 is not enough. Choose SPF 50 or higher.

2. Broad-spectrum protection: Make sure it protects against both UVA and UVB.

3. Lightweight texture: In high heat, you need a sunscreen that doesn't clog pores or leave a greasy layer.
