Although summer is already finished, protecting your skin from the sun shouldn’t be just a summertime habit. After all, harmful ultraviolet rays — the ones responsible for skin cancer, sunburns, and premature aging — don’t go away just because it’s cold or cloudy outside.
Here is how to protect your skin against the sun’s harmful effects.
A study published by the US National Library of Medicine states that ultraviolet exposure may account for 80% of visible signs of aging and that over-exposure to ultraviolet rays can be a key factor in the development of skin cancers.
Dermatologists and skincare specialists stress the importance of including SPF in our daily skincare routines to minimize the effects of sun damage.
The face skin is much softer and is more exposed to the harmful effects of sunlight than the rest of the body. Therefore, before buying your next protector, you should consider your skin type. Dry skin needs different protection from oily skin or mature skin with wrinkles.
Take good care of your skin!
Enjoy your skin.
