Summer is upon us, and that means it’s time to start talking about sunscreen. Sure, you probably have your sunscreen packed away into your beach/poolside bag, but we’re here to tell you that it shouldn’t live there for good. Today, we’re going to chat about the benefits of using sunscreen every day – no matter where you are. Let’s get started.
Do I Really Need to Wear Sunscreen Every Day?
We’re sure you’ve heard this elsewhere – it’s recommended to wear sunscreen every day that you’ll be outside in full sun for more than 10 minutes. This is because UV damage can happen quicker than you think. Let’s take a look at some of the benefits of using sunscreen daily:
Wearing Sunscreen Every Day Results In:
#1 | Protection Against Premature Skin Aging
We all know that UV radiation can cause negative changes to our skin on a molecular level, but somehow we don’t think that can happen if we aren’t at the beach.
We’re here to tell you that UV radiation certainly can still harm your skin when you’re out and about. And, protecting yourself is simple. By incorporating a daily sunscreen into your routine (and keeping a bottle of sunscreen on hand wherever you go) you can protect your skin from premature aging – 24/7.
#2 | A Reduced Risk of Developing Skin Cancer
UV radiation can actually damage and kill skin cells if they’re exposed for too long. When our bodies don’t dispose of them properly, this damage can lead to irreversible, hugely disproportionate growth signaling. This is how cancer starts out. While UV doesn’t cause all skin cancer, it’s certainly a leading cause, meaning that you can greatly reduce your odds of developing it by wearing sunscreen wherever you go.
#3 | Better Overall Skin Health
Since UV radiation can damage our skin (even during the winter!), it’s simply better for skin health for it to be protected. By incorporating a daily sunscreen into your routine, you’re committing to better skin health for yourself – not only now but also years down the line.
How Do I Pick the Best Daily Sunscreen?
Picking the best daily sunscreen for your skin type can be difficult. First and foremost, we recommend a more gentle, non-chemical solution for your face. You should incorporate this product into your daily routine. This way, you can know you’re always covered.
However, you should keep in mind that sunscreen degrades over time and as it’s on your skin. Reapplication is just as important as the first application. Keep a bottle with you for reapplication purposes.
