Skin Protection 101
Your future self will thank you.
When it comes to sun protection & SPF, it’s Sunscreen is often an everyday fixture in your beach bag. But what about the rest of the year? Do you remember to wear sunscreen when you’re going for a run? When you’re sitting next to the window in your office? Whenever you expose your skin to the sun, you can’t forget the importance of sunblock! SPF is so important and definitely needs to be a staple in your skincare routine all year long.
Why is it so important to use Sunscreen?
SPF Protects us from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays: UVA & UVB. UVB raps are responsible for sunburn - very easy to see and feel the effects of UVB. UVA on the other hand penetrates deeper into the skin and can lead to long-term effects from wrinkling, premature aging skin, skin cancer, and more.
Sunscreen all over the body is important, but the face is particularly susceptible to wrinkles and premature aging. No one wants to look older than they are, and sunscreen plays an essential role in anti-aging. Keep in mind that the importance of sunscreen on face isn’t just cosmetic — it’s essential for good health, too.
