skin protection
Barrier against damage
Skin protection refers to measures taken to shield the skin from damage caused by sun exposure, chemicals, extreme temperatures, or physical injury.
Sunscreen is the most common form of skin protection, blocking harmful UV rays that cause sunburn and increase cancer risk.
Protective clothing, gloves, and barrier creams also fall under this category.
Construction workers need adequate skin protection when handling caustic materials.
The term appears frequently in occupational safety guidelines and dermatological advice.
