Why Sunscreen Is Essential Every Day
Sunscreen is one of the most important steps in your skincare routine. Whether it's sunny or cloudy, protecting your skin from ultraviolet (UV) radiation helps reduce sun damage and premature skin ageing.
What Does SPF Mean?
SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor. It indicates how well a sunscreen protects against UVB rays, which cause sunburn. Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher to protect against both UVA and UVB rays.
Why Should You Wear Sunscreen Every Day?
1. Helps protect against sun damage
UV exposure can damage your skin even on cloudy days. Daily sunscreen helps protect exposed skin when you're outdoors.
2. Helps prevent premature skin ageing
Regular sun protection helps reduce the effects of UV exposure, including fine lines, wrinkles and uneven skin tone.
3. Supports a more even-looking complexion
Sun exposure can worsen the appearance of dark spots and uneven pigmentation. Consistent sun protection is an important part of managing these concerns.
How to Apply Sunscreen Correctly
-
Apply sunscreen generously to all exposed skin as the final step of your morning skincare routine, before makeup.
-
Follow the product label for application instructions.
-
Remember areas such as your ears, neck and the backs of your hands.
-
Apply it before going outdoors, following the timing on the label.
When Should You Reapply Sunscreen?
Reapply at least every two hours when outdoors, and after swimming, sweating or towel-drying, following the product instructions. No sunscreen provides complete protection, so seek shade and wear protective clothing when appropriate.
