DON'T GET COMPLACENT WITH YOUR SPF! ☁️
The cooler days are here, the summer sun feels like a distant memory, and it's easy to think we can give our SPF a miss. But this is your reminder that SPF isn't just for summer. It's a 365-day essential!
Even when the skies are grey, UV radiation can still affect your skin.
☀️ UVA – Ageing rays UVA rays pe*****te deeper into the skin and are present throughout the year. They contribute to premature ageing, collagen breakdown, fine lines, wrinkles and pigmentation. They can also pe*****te through clouds and glass.
☀️ UVB – Burning rays UVB rays are strongest during the summer months and are responsible for sunburn. However, they don't disappear during autumn and winter. They can still contribute to DNA damage and increase the risk of skin cancer.
💻 BLUE LIGHT – More than just screen time High-energy visible (HEV) blue light comes from the sun and, to a lesser extent, digital screens. Research suggests prolonged exposure, particularly from sunlight, may contribute to oxidative stress and pigmentation, especially in darker skin tones and those prone to melasma.
So, what should you be doing?
✔️ Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30–50 every morning, whatever the weather.
✔️ Choose a product offering strong UVA protection alongside UVB protection.
✔️ Reapply when spending prolonged periods outdoors.
✔️ Consider a tinted SPF containing iron oxides if pigmentation is a concern, as these can offer additional protection against visible light.
✔️ Make SPF the final step in your morning skincare routine.
Remember, you can invest in the best skin treatments, professional skincare and advanced rejuvenation procedures, but protecting your skin every single day is one of the most important things you can do to maintain your results.
PREVENTION WILL ALWAYS BE BETTER THAN CORRECTION.
Your skin deserves protection 365 days a year. 🤍
