Sunscreen is undoubtedly one of the most effective ways to protect your skin from sun damage.
It’s recommended that we all apply sunscreen with SPF30 or higher as part of our morning routine and reapply every 2 hours or after swimming or sweating heavily. That might seem like a lot of sunscreen, but the benefits really are priceless:
𝟭. 𝗦𝘂𝗻𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘀𝘂𝗻𝗯𝘂𝗿𝗻.
Unfortunately, many of us know how painful (and embarrassing) sunburn can be. Sunscreen is an important tool to help protect your skin from burning.
𝟮. 𝗦𝘂𝗻𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗻 𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿.
Sunscreen has been shown to reduce the likelihood of developing skin cancers such as Melanoma and Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC); as well as sunspots, which can be a precursor to skin cancers.

When our skin is damaged by UV exposure, our cells become less effective at detecting and attacking threats to the immune system. This make it harder for our body to fight off disease and slows the body’s natural ability to heal itself.
𝟰. 𝗦𝘂𝗻𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴.
Sunscreen use is considered to be the most effective way of preventing ageing by helping to maintain skin texture and reduce the development of pimples, visible small blood vessels, pigmented areas such as freckling and fine lines.
It’s never too early or too late to start protecting your skin.
