Staying out in the sun is a big part of my childhood. I would go to the park often, travel to places for vacation, and go to swim practices. Out of all the memories I’ve had, sunscreen is something that will always be associated with the sun for me.
There would always be someone getting sunburnt, whether it was me or someone I knew. If you haven’t gotten one before, sunburns are really annoying to deal with. They don’t hurt badly, but enough to cause you a little pain every time the burn gets touched by something. My family ran out of sunscreen at one point and went to the beach without it. Once we left, my dad took home a sunburn that covered his entire back. It was funny at the time, but sunburns can lead to skin cancer if you’re exposed to the sun without any protection for too long. Sunscreen helps prevent this, but not completely.
The sensation of the spray sunscreens is something I will never forget. Spraying on a layer of sunscreen on a hot, sunny day is refreshing because of how cold the sunscreen is. Easy to apply, and feels great. Who wouldn’t enjoy that? Perhaps this is a way to get people to buy and wear sunscreen more often instead of letting themselves be burnt alive. I would always complain when I was forced to put on the cream sunscreen, but the spray bottles made it a lot more fun and easier to put on. Thanks to that, I don’t have any skin problems.
Anyways, enough with the rambling. Stay safe and wear sunscreen to avoid being cooked.

I love the humorous tone in your closing sentence :) I agree that sunburn is super annoying to deal with, especially when your face looks red and a piece of skin is literally about to fall off (ugh don't remind me). Aside from that, the risk of skin cancer developing later on in your life is also increased, it may not be deadly, but it's definitely a hassle to deal with. All it takes to prevent both of these things is a few sprays of sunscreen, I completely agree that it'll save you a lot of trouble later on.
