✨Protection over correction✨
Sunscreen is a must for these reasons:
1. UV Protection: It shields your skin from harmful UV rays, preventing sunburn, aging signs, and skin cancer.
2. Prevents Hyperpigmentation: By blocking UV-induced dark spots, it keeps your complexion radiant.
3. Preventative Aging: Sunscreen fights premature aging, including wrinkles and sagging skin. Sun damage is the number one cause of aging!
MAIN SUNSCREEN FORMS:
Sunscreen comes in two primary types:
1. Chemical: These allow the skin to absorb UV rays and are great for daily use. Tend to be more transparent and blendable
2. Physical: They contain minerals like zinc or titanium dioxide which reflect the UV rays before they enter the skin and are great for sensitive skin.
Using Sunscreen Effectively:
- Generous Application: Cover all exposed skin, including your face, neck, and ears. (About 2 finger-lengths of product)
- Regular Reapplication: Reapply every 2 hours, especially if you’re swimming, sweating, or in direct sun.
- Daily Habit: Use sunscreen daily, even on cloudy or winter days, as UV rays can penetrate clouds.
- Layering: Apply it after your skincare routine but before your makeup.
- Proper SPF usage is especially important when using any exfoliating actives (Retinoids, AHAs, BHAs, etc.)
