Why should you add sunscreen to your daily routine?
Everyone should use SPF in their day-to-day life (yes, you too) and today we give you the reasons why.
The sun can cause medical and aesthetic problems, from skin cancer to dark spots and wrinkles.
The product that all doctors recommend, regardless of the problem, is... sunscreen.
We take for granted that we have to use sun protection when we expect to get a lot of sun and heat (like on a beach day in the middle of summer) to avoid sunburn. But... why should we use sunscreen every day?
Solar radiation (UV rays) can cause:
1. Premature aging.
2. Skin spots or hyperpigmentation.
3. An increased risk of skin cancer.
Although we feel the summer sun more intensely, this ultraviolet radiation also penetrates through clouds on gray days and reflects off white snow in winter. Furthermore, the damage it causes to our skin is cumulative (yes, the classic "skin has a memory" saying is true). Therefore, we should not only protect ourselves on hot, beachy days, but every day that we are exposed (walking the dog, on the way to work...).
OH! And this goes for EVERYONE. For those who say "my skin doesn't burn" or "there's no need, I'm under an umbrella," and we include both men and women.
Sunscreen is just as important for all skin tones, including those with more melanin. And for proper sun protection, we recommend at least an SPF of 30.
Our Sun Spritz is ideal for 365 days of the year: It hydrates the skin, keeps it highly protected (SPF50+), and is not sticky at all. In addition, for when you start wearing short sleeves in the spring, we recommend our California Surfer (SPF30) or Tropical Breeze (SPF50); they will leave your skin luminous, hydrated, and above all, protected.
When you find a sun protector you like, it is much easier to add it to your daily routine, and your skin will thank you!
