Why You Need To Wear Sunscreen Everyday

Sunscreens are not just for stepping out during the summer months

Here are some reasons why you should wear sunscreen every day

Protects from skin cancer

Sunscreen protects the skin from harmful UV rays radiated from the sun that can cause skin cancer

Prevents photoaging

Sunscreen prevents photoaging that causes the skin texture to thicken and causes discolouration. It also breaks down collagen and elastin causing fine lines and wrinkles

Gives blue light protection

Certain sunscreens include blue light protection that protects your skin from the blue rays radiated from electronic devices that are extremely harmful to the skin

Wear sunscreen even when indoors

It is important to wear sunscreen indoors as most windows and doors do not block UV rays from penetrating indoors
