Sunscreen – Your Skin’s Everyday Shield

Most people think sunscreen is only for sunny days or beach trips. But the truth is it should be a part of your daily routine. Yes, even when you’re indoors or it’s cloudy

Why is sunscreen important?

The sun gives off invisible rays called UV rays, and they can harm your skin. These rays don’t go away when it’s cloudy or cold. They even come through windows. Over time, this can cause:

• Skin darkening and tanning
• Wrinkles and fine lines
• Uneven skin tone
• Risk of skin problems

What kind of sunscreen should you use?

Look for SPF 50 with “broad-spectrum” written on it. This means it protects against both types of harmful rays. If you’re outdoors, reapply it every 2-3 hours.

Good habits for healthy skin

• Apply sunscreen as the last step in your skincare routine
• Choose a non-sticky, lightweight sunscreen if you wear makeup
• Make it a habit—like brushing your teeth!
