Ladies, let’s get really honest for a minute. When you do your daily skincare routine how many of you are wearing sunscreen? Most people don’t think about wearing sunscreen unless they are headed to the beach, outside for the day or generally are outside- however wearing sunscreen daily inside is equally important. Today I am teaming up with Clarins to share with you WHY wearing sunscreen daily is extremely important and should be considered non-negotiable in your skincare routine.
So we have all heard that wearing sunscreen is important for our skin. You know the usual: helps you stay wrinkle-free, youthful, and protects you from skin cancer. However, most people don’t realize that you NEED to be wearing sunscreen whether you are inside or outside, everyday, 365 days of the year, and of course rain or shine. Let’s face it wearing sunscreen is and should be non-negotiable, here are 5 reasons why!
// REASON ONE: SUN DAMAGING RAYS ARE STRONG EVEN WHEN YOU DON’T THINK SO//
When it comes to sun damaging rays, there are two kinds of ultraviolet rays that the sun emits- ultraviolet (UVA) and UVB. UVB rays are the ones that can cause sunburns, and tanning all while have various levels of intensity. However UVA rays are the ones that penetrate deep into the skin can can cause sun damage, skin aging and of course- skin cancer. UVA sun damage is NOT reversible therefore, we must protect ourselves all times of the year from these rays by wearing sunscreen.
// REASON TWO: YOU ARE NOT PROTECT INSIDE FROM RAYS //
Wearing sunscreen everyday including when you are indoors all day is MAJOR and super important. I know most people think that ‘well I am indoors all day WHY would I need a SPF when I am indoors?’ Well wearing sunscreen indoors helps protect you from the indoor UV exposure that occurs when ultraviolet penetrates through the glass (windows, doors, your car, etc). In fact, indoor UV exposure is also UVA exposure- so its SUPER important to make sure you are wearing sunscreen indoors as well.
// REASON THREE : YOU SHOULD BE WEARING SUNSCREEN ON ALL AREAS OF CONCERN //
Wearing sunscreen should be worn ALL OVER the face, including your ears. Any area that can be exposed to harmful sun rays, needs to be covered. This included wearing sunscreen all over your face, ears included, as well has your neck, chest and top of your hands (remember ladies your hands and your neck both show your age as well). I like to apply sunscreen after moisturizer in the morning BEFORE my makeup- that way it gives me about 30 minutes before entering outside for it to penetrate and start protecting.
// REASON FOUR : THE MAGIC NUMBER TO WEARING SUNSCREEN IS SPF 30 //
After much research the American Academy of Dermatology states that the recommended number for SPF is to always find a SPF with at least 30 because it helps to be a sufficient amount of protection and helps minimize the adverse effects of SPF. That’s why I love reaching for one of my favorite SPF’s- the Clarins UV Plus Anti-Pollution Sunscreen Multi-Protection Broad Spectrum SPF 50 because it does just that! Not only it it sheer and ultra-lightweight it is also OIL-FREE! The thing I love most about the Clarins UV Plus Anti-Pollution Sunscreen Multi-Protection Broad Spectrum SPF 50 is that is protects against UVA/UVB rays, pollution, and free radicals to help you maintain youthful-looking skin. It literally is the daily defense that your skin needs daily! For all my tan skinned gals, never worry either- this SPF doesn’t leave a weird residue at all, and absorbs into the skin like a dream come true with the perfect matte finish. Long gone are the days of those white, ashy casts that SPF’s leave on skin- seriously the Clarins UV Plus Anti-Pollution Sunscreen Multi-Protection Broad Spectrum SPF 50 will change your view on SPF and wearing sunscreen daily, 365 days a year- TRUST ME!
// REASON FIVE : SUN DAMAGE IS CUMULATIVE //
Long gone are those thoughts of being fooled into thinking you can build a safe tan while being in the sun. Because honestly- there is NO SUCH THING! Sun damage is cumulative and it can possibly damage the skin deeply down to the cellular level. So do your skin a favor and make sure to be wearing sunscreen EACH and EVERY single day! Your skin will totally thank you!
Ladies, next time you get ready to head out into the sun- make sure you are wearing sunscreen! Not only is it great for your health, but let’s be honest- we all want to stay youthful looking forever!
