Here at Ella Bache HQ, we can’t stress enough the importance of SPF in your skincare, or as we like to call it, your suncare routine. It’s not just a seasonal add-on; it’s a daily necessity. While many of us love to soak up the sun, protecting our skin from its harmful rays is paramount. Let’s dive into why SPF should be your skin’s best friend year-round.
Understanding UV
First, let’s break down what SPF is protecting you from. The sun emits two types of harmful ultraviolet rays: UVA and UVB. UVA rays penetrate the skin deeply, contributing to premature aging and skin cancer. UVB rays, on the other hand, are responsible for sunburn and can also lead to skin cancer.
Daily Application Is Key
The best part? SPF isn’t just for beach days. Even on cloudy days, up to 80% of the sun’s harmful rays can still reach your skin. This means daily application is crucial, regardless of the weather or your plans. Incorporate your broad-spectrum SPF into your morning skincare routine, and reapply every two hours when outdoors, especially if you’re swimming or sweating.
