SUNSCREEN: WHY IT’S IMPORTANT & HOW IT WORKS
Our skincare routine can change depending on the season, but there's one product that's always a mainstay: sunscreen. Sunscreen is the non-negotiable skincare product to keep in your daily routine. While we've all heard that before, do we know exactly why sunscreen is important and how it works? We break it down in 4 main ways.
PROTECTION AGAINST SUNBURN
The most obvious and notable benefit of sunscreen is its protection against UVA and UVB rays. Our skin can absorb ultraviolet radiation from sunlight and can cause long-term skin damage including wrinkles and even some skin cancers. Applying sunscreen acts as a layer of protection against harmful rays by minimizing their penetration into the skin.
KEEPS COMPLEXION EVEN
Overexposure to the sun's UV rays is one of the many causes of uneven skin tones as UV rays can jumpstart the overproduction of melanin, worsening existing dark spots. Applying sunscreen can not only protect you against sunburn, but it can also keep your complexion even. Our Double Dose Vitamin C Serum is also a powerful ally — its antioxidant-rich formula reduces hyperpigmentation and brightens skin tone.
HELPS PROTECT AGAINST THE VISIBLE SIGNS OF PREMATURE AGING
UVA rays can prematurely age your skin as they result in the loss of collagen and skin elasticity, developing wrinkles, fine lines and crow's feet. One of the most effective preventative methods is applying sunscreen daily.
HEALTHY SKIN OVERALL
Wearing sunscreen protects essential proteins in the skin like keratin — the proteins primarily responsible for leaving the skin smooth and healthy. Those who use sunscreen regularly will have healthier skin overall.
The bottom line: wearing sunscreen is important and it should never be missed in your skincare routine.
