Sunscreen has become such a hot topic in recent years. Why is it so important?
Sun damage. That’s why!
You only get one chance with the skin you have. It’s the first thing people see when they look at you and it stays with you forever.
Taking care of your skin on a constant basis by applying a sunscreen with a sufficient SPF will help you avoid early aging, wrinkles, skin cancer, and sun damage. You can get sun damage without even getting sunburn!
If you are exposed to the sun, it damages your skin more and more over time. Using a sunscreen with a higher SPF (Sun Protection Factor) will protect your skin from both UVB (shorter ultraviolet wavelengths that cause sunburn) and UVA (longer ultraviolet rays that also cause sun damage by penetrating the skin and damaging connective tissue at deeper levels).
It is crucial to protect your body from both UVB and UVA exposure. Remember, the higher the SPF, the better protected you are.
Be sure to apply sunscreen liberally and reapply often. It comes off easily from exposure to water, sweat, rubbed off, or removed in any other way.
One of my personal favorite sunscreens is Ti-Silc SPF 45 and SPF 60. They have great coverage, can be used under makeup, and protect your skin from damage!
Be smart before you hop into the pool, head out on a hiking trail, or take your bike for a spin and lather up!
