SPF is the all-time undisputed skincare saviour when it comes to the prevention of fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of elasticity. The advice from dermatologists across the board continues to be—wear sunscreen everyday.
WHY DO DERMATOLOGISTS PREFER BROAD-SPECTRUM SUNSCREEN?
Broad-spectrum sunscreen protects against both UVA and UVB rays. As both cause damage, derms always advise to choose a product that deals with both.
DO I HAVE TO WEAR SUNSCREEN EVERYDAY?
The message from dermatologists is clear that if you don’t get into the habit of shielding your skin from harmful UV rays on a daily basis, no amount of facials, tweakments or expensive creams and serums, will be able to undo years of unprotected exposure to the Sun.
BUT SUNSCREEN MAKES MY SKIN BREAK OUT, WHAT HAPPENS IF I DON'T WEAR IT EVERYDAY?
Ok so you may be convinced that your skin hates sunscreen, which is actually quite a common opinion due to heavy oil ridden SPF formulas clogging pores, resulting in redness and acne for a lot of people. It’s tempting to forgo the use of sun protection, especially if it disrupts the finish of your makeup, but opting out means accelerating the aging process, even if it’s not visibly apparent immediately.
I WANT A LIGHTWEIGHT BROAD-SPECTRUM SUNSCREEN...
Luckily there are a couple of SPF hero products that are so cosmetically elegant they feel invisible once applied. Spooge’s sunscreens offer optimum protection, go on sheer and absorb so well, you won’t even be able to tell you’ve got SPF on. They are also noncomedogenic, so no need to worry about nasty ingredients irritating your skin.
The Ghosted Mineral All-Screen, has an oil-free formula which means a no-shine finish, and if you need some extra hydration, it also contains Vitamin E and Squalane to boost the moisture levels on your face and body.
