Why Sunscreen Matters
Block those UV rays: UV radiation is the number one cause of premature skin aging. Wrinkles, dark spots, and loss of elasticity. Sunscreen acts as a shield, protecting your skin from these harmful rays.
Prevent skin cancer: Did you know that regular use of sunscreen can reduce your risk of skin cancer by up to 50%? This is not just about beauty, it's also about your health.
Even out skin tone: Consistent sunscreen use can help prevent discoloration and dark spots, leading to a more even and radiant complexion.
Reduce inflammation: Sunscreen can help reduce skin inflammation and redness caused by exposure to UV rays, helping to keep your skin calm and healthy.

Fun facts about sunscreen
Invisible armor: Most of the sun's UV rays can penetrate through clouds and even windows. So, if you're indoors or it's cloudy, you still need protection!
SPF numbers: SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor. An SPF of 30 blocks about 97% of UVB rays, while an SPF of 50 blocks about 98%.
All skin types need it: Regardless of your skin tone, everyone is susceptible to UV damage. Darker skin tones can get sunburned and develop skin cancer too.

Tips for using sunscreen
Apply generously: Yes, you really need more than you might think! A good rule of thumb is about a teaspoon for your face and a shot glass (yes, a shot glass!) for your whole body. It might seem like a lot, but you want to make sure every inch of your skin is protected.
Reapply regularly: Sunscreen should be reapplied every two hours, or immediately after swimming or sweating.
Donβt forget the lips: Your lips need protection too! Use a lip balm with SPF.
Apply to all exposed skin: Don't forget often-missed spots like your ears, neck, and the back of your hands.
Layer It right: Apply sunscreen as the last step in your skincare routine but before makeup. If using a chemical sunscreen, wait about 15 minutes before going outside to let it fully absorb.
So, there you have it! Sunscreen is not just an option - it's a necessity for healthy, beautiful skin. Protect yourself and check out our fantastic range of sunscreens tailored to your skin's needs. Your future self will thank you!
