The article presents an analysis of sunscreen usage in Slovenia based on data from June 2026. It calculates the average cost of proper sunscreen application for residents of Ljubljana and Celje versus Maribor, using price comparisons from Shoptok.si and recommendations from dermatological guidelines. The analysis estimates that the average monthly cost for correct sunscreen use in Ljubljana and Celje would be around €54, while in Maribor it would be approximately €43. This difference stems from the number of hot days recorded in June, with Ljubljana and Celje experiencing 15 days above 30°C compared to Maribor’s 12. The calculation assumes a conservative estimate of sunscreen application frequency and includes factors such as SPF requirements and average product prices. However, the article also highlights that actual sunscreen use remains low, citing U.S. Centers for Disease Control data showing only 12.3% of men and 29% of women regularly apply sunscreen for more than an hour of sun exposure. It further notes that sunscreen use tends to be associated more with beach outings than typical urban heatwaves.
