Tips to protect your skin from the sun

Are you one of the people who only apply sunscreen in summer? Well, you should stop doing it and here is why, everyday we are exposed to external factors such as pollution, climatic changes, UVA and UVB rays, blue and artificial light. That is why the most important step in your skincare routine should be the application of sunscreen, preferably one with an SPF greater than 30. It doesn’t matter if you are outside or inside the house, if it is summer or winter, sunrays, pollution and artificial light are always there.

What is SPF?

SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor, it measures the protection from the sun’s UVB rays, solar radiation and artificial lights. The protection number multiplies the time of permanence or exposure to the sun, the higher it is, the longer you can stay in the sun.

What are the benefits of applying sunscreen every day?

• Prevents skin cancer: Prolonged exposure to solar radiation increases the chances of skin cancer. Protect yourself!
