Daily SPF Use – Is It Really Worth It?

Posted August 05, 2024 in Skin Care Treatments, Skincare Products

Aestheticians and doctors alike have been saying it for years – make sure to wear your sunscreen! But what sort of benefits does daily SPF use really provide, and how important is it? Read on to find out and join Team Sunscreen!

Should you wear sunscreen every day?

In short, yes, to protect yourself from harmful sun rays. Without the use of sunscreen, damaging rays can lead to sunburn, pigmentation, premature aging, and in some cases, skin cancer. Over the years, SPF formulas have been enhanced and designed to support all skin types. For maximum protection and benefits, our aestheticians recommend that sunscreen is included in your daily skin regimen all year around.

5 Reasons to Use SPF

  1. Reduces UV Exposure 

UVA and UVB rays, different types of ultraviolet radiation seen as sunlight, can penetrate the skin and damage your cells. Wearing SPF can reduce your risk of melanoma, a specific skin cancer that begins in cells known as melanocytes, and the toll it can have on your body.

  1. Shields Against Hyperpigmentation & Discoloration

Hyperpigmentation shows up as red or darker marks on the skin. Sun damage can make this condition worse by causing acne and melanin build-up. By wearing sunscreen, it will help reduce pigmentation and keep your body from having to work overdrive to protect your skin.

  1. Reduces Signs of Aging 

The sun damage from UVA rays can make you more prone to brown spots and wrinkles. Using SPF in your skincare routine will minimize signs of aging.

  1. Prevents Skin Irritation & Inflammation

The sun rays can cause natural body inflammation and add stress to the skin. Many sensitive skin types such as eczema and rosacea will have less irritation and redness using SPF protection.

  1. Strengthens Skin Barrier

As mentioned before, the sun can cause stress to the skin. A healthy, strong skin barrier is consistent hydration, using high quality skincare products with no aggressive ingredients and formulas.
