7 Reasons to Wear Sunscreen Daily
We all know we should wear sunscreen, but why is it so important? Believe it or not, that bottle of SPF in your medicine cabinet can do more than just protect you from sunburns. There are several reasons why wearing sunscreen daily is the best choice for protecting your skin from the sun’s harmful UV rays. Let’s explore some of those reasons here.
Protects the Skin from Harmful UV Rays
Everyone knows that ultraviolet (UV) radiation is bad news when it comes to skin health. It has been linked to premature ageing, wrinkles, age spots and even skin cancer. The good news is that sunscreen helps protect your skin from these damaging effects by blocking out most of the UV rays that reach your skin. Even if you don’t plan on being in direct sunlight for long periods, wearing daily sunscreen will ensure that you’re always protected from the sun’s rays.
Slows Down Skin Ageing Process
In addition to protecting your skin from UV damage, using a daily sunscreen can also help slow down the natural ageing process of your skin. When used properly and consistently, sunscreen can help reduce wrinkles and fine lines caused by years of sun exposure. This means that wearing sunscreen every day can help keep your skin looking young and healthy for many years to come!
Reduces Skin Cancer Risk
With skin cancer considered the most common form of cancer in Australia, it’s important to keep sun safety top-of-mind. Studies show that applying a high-SPF daily sunscreen is a highly effective way to reduce your risk of developing skin cancer, making it an invaluable routine part of any skincare regimen. The best type of sunscreen consists of broad-spectrum protection with SPF 30 or higher, as this protects against both UVA and UVB rays and helps block 97% of the sun’s potentially harmful rays. By using a sunscreen that meets these criteria daily, you are taking the first step towards reducing your risk of developing skin cancer; perhaps most importantly, regular use of a daily sunscreen can help you to enjoy UV exposure while still protecting yourself against its potentially damaging consequences.
Prevents Painful Sunburns
A sunburn can be an extremely unpleasant experience, causing pain, redness, and possible blisters. While the effects may only last for a few days or weeks, they could have even more long-term consequences if not treated properly. It’s important to take preventive measures such as wearing protective clothing and hats when you go outside and avoiding direct exposure to the sun during peak intensity hours. But perhaps most importantly, make sure to apply sunscreen liberally on any visible skin that may be exposed to the sun’s rays. Since sunscreen needs time to become fully active (usually at least 15 minutes), apply it before leaving your house if you plan on being out for an extended period. This will give your skin maximum protection from damage caused by UV radiation. Common sense and proactive actions are key steps in preventing the many harms that can occur from too much ultraviolet exposure.
Reduces Skin Inflammation and Acne
Sunscreen helps reduce inflammation caused by UV rays, which can lead to redness and irritation on the face or body. It also helps protect against acne breakouts caused by environmental stressors like pollution and dirt buildup on the skin barrier caused by sweat or oil production throughout the day. Make sure to cleanse your face with a gentle cleanser and apply moisturiser after sunscreen for optimal protection from acne-causing bacteria.
Improved Skin Hydration Properties
One of the main benefits of using sunscreen on a regular basis is that it helps to keep your skin hydrated and healthy. This is because most sunscreens contain moisturising ingredients such as hyaluronic acid or sodium PCA which act as humectants that draw moisture into your skin, keeping it soft and supple throughout the day. Furthermore, these moisturising ingredients also help to prevent wrinkles and fine lines by plumping up the skin and reducing dryness.
Prevents Skin Tanning Process
Finally, wearing sunscreen every day also helps prevent skin tanning, which not only makes you look darker but also damages your skin in the long run. UVA rays are especially damaging since they penetrate deep into your skin causing premature ageing while UVB rays cause a burning sensation on the surface layer of your skin due to overexposure to sunlight. Wearing an SPF30 or higher every day ensures that you will be protected against both UVA and UVB rays while still allowing you to enjoy some mild sunshine without worrying about any serious damage being done to your body’s largest organ- your skin.
