While the risk of sun exposure is low when inside, dermatologists now recommend applying sun protection even if you don’t plan on leaving the house. UV rays still penetrate through glass, so if you spend any time beside a window, there is still a risk of sun damage. If you have patio doors or live on a higher floor, chances are you have a lot of natural light in your home, which is amazing to brighten your mood, but also means you should get into the habit of wearing SPF all-year round.
BENEFITS OF USING SUNSCREEN INDOORS
In addition to preventing premature aging and helping protect against skin cancer, if you choose an SPF product that contains skincare ingredients, your sunscreen also doubles up as a moisturizer. Not only will your complexion be shielded from UV rays and blue light from screens, it will also be kept looking soft, supple, and hydrated. This streamlines your skincare routine into one simple step. After you wash your face or shower in the morning, apply a sunscreen or tinted moisturizer containing SPF 30 to ensure your skin is nourished in the present but also protected from the future signs of aging.
WHAT SPF IS NEEDED IN A CAR?
Sunscreen should always be worn when driving. Even on cloudy, rainy days, you are still extremely exposed to UV rays through the windscreen and windows. If you are thinking you only spend 30 minutes in your car a day running errands, over the years it all adds up, especially on the left side of your face. Taking 30 seconds every morning to put on sun protection is the best thing you can do for the long-term health of your skin. All-screen brand Spooge has developed formulas that provide both UV protection and skincare benefits, making them ideal to be worn everyday. Their Dew Me Mineral All Screen, has a slight tint to give your skin a fresh glow, while also delivering it with an intense dose of hyaluronic acid for hydration and SPF 30. If you prefer a more luminous finish the Cheeky Mineral All Screen, is perfect for face, neck, and body, and also contains caffeine to revitalize tired-looking skin.
