Why use sunscreen?
Sunscreen is much more than just a beauty product: it's a true protective barrier against sun damage. Whether you're at the beach, in the mountains, or simply exposed to the sun during your daily activities, it's an essential part of your skincare routine, all year round, whenever you step outside! Here's why:
1. Protect against UV rays
The sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays, composed of UVA and UVB, are a major cause of premature skin aging, age spots, and, in extreme cases, skin cancer. Sunscreen provides effective protection by blocking these harmful rays.
2. Preventing premature aging
UVA rays, present year-round, penetrate deep into the skin and contribute to the formation of wrinkles and loss of firmness. Daily application of sunscreen preserves your skin's elasticity and youthful appearance.
3. Reduce the risk of age spots
Prolonged sun exposure can cause hyperpigmentation, creating brown spots or an uneven skin tone. Sunscreen helps maintain an even and radiant complexion.
4. Avoid sunburn
UVB rays are responsible for sunburn, which weakens the skin and can cause pain as well as long-term damage. Sunscreen with an appropriate SPF prevents these adverse effects.
5. Protect all year round
Contrary to popular belief, sunscreens aren't just for summer. UV rays are present even on cloudy days or in winter. Daily protection is therefore essential, regardless of the season.
How to choose and use sunscreen?
-
Choose a protection index (SPF sunscreen) : SPF 30 is a minimum for effective protection, while SPF 50 offers enhanced protection.
-
Look for broad spectrum protection : which acts against UVA and UVB rays.
-
Adapt the texture to your skin type : oily skin will prefer a non-comedogenic formula, while dry skin will benefit from a more nourishing texture.
-
Apply it in sufficient quantity : for optimal protection, apply a generous dose to the face and body, 15 to 30 minutes before exposure.
-
Reapply every two hours, or after swimming or heavy perspiration.
