We can’t reinforce this point enough: sunscreen is a must to include in your daily skincare routine. Why? And how can you get sunscreen into your daily skincare ritual? Here are some things you should know.
Why Sunscreen Is a Daily Must
Your skin requires sun exposure. In fact, most people who are vitamin D deficient simply don’t spend enough time in the sun. However, overexposure can result in damage to your skin that is difficult or maybe even impossible to reverse. You don’t want to end up with spots that mar your appearance, premature wrinkles, dry skin, and other impacts from sun damage. And, of course, we should all be concerned about the potential for skin cancer.
Therefore, sunscreen is a must. And yes, that is the case even in winter. When the hemisphere is tilted away from the sun, we don’t feel the effects as powerfully. As a result, we may spend more time in the sun without thinking about it. However, you don’t have to burn to experience damage from the sun’s UV rays.
How to Add Sunscreen to Your Skin Care Routine
While the easiest way might seem to be getting a tube of sunscreen to apply every morning, you may already have a lot of products in your morning skincare ritual. If you want to avoid adding another, you could find a moisturizer that includes SPF. These are becoming increasingly common.
However, you will want to remember that just applying sunscreen in the morning may not protect you for the entire day, especially if you are going to spend that entire day outdoors.
