Why you should wear sunscreen daily.
Most of us know we should wear sunscreen in the summer months, but in reality, we should be wearing it daily! Even on the overcast and rainy days. Make it a part of your daily skincare routine, your skin will thank you for it in years to come. Most skincare and cosmetics now contain UV protection and nowadays most sunscreen is water-resistant.
Why you should wear sunscreen daily
Up to 80% of sunrays can penetrate through clouds, which means even on colder cloudy days the rays are still causing damage to your skin. You may have been skiing and noticed you’ve ended up with that funky goggle tan line on your face, this is because snow can reflect 80% of UV rays, which unfortunately increases the risk of sun damage. It’s important to use sunscreen daily, no matter the weather as a preventive measure.
All skin types
A common misconception is olive and darker skin tones don’t suffer the effects of sun damage. Although darker skin is less likely to burn, this does not mean it isn’t susceptible to sun-related damage, such as signs of early aging, wrinkles, sunspots, and skin cancer. It’s important that every skin tone is protected.
But I want to tan?!
Well, your lucks in, Sunscreen won’t prevent you from tanning. Although this isn’t the green light to sit in the scorching sun all day! Wearing hats and re-applying sun protection every few hours is essential.
Benefits of the sun
Sun is essential for our overall wellbeing, it prevents depression, lowers blood pressure, provides us with vital Vitamins, strengthens our bones, and protects us against disease. Just like anything, too much sun can have adverse effects on our skin.
