Ah, Sunscreen...

In this day and age, let's face it - sunscreen is probably the most neglected product in everyone's skincare routine. Feeling compelled to only put it on before heading off to the beach is a common misconception; sunscreen also performs vital tasks in keeping your overall health and appearance of your skin intact. Why should you wear sunscreen? Well, as the warmer days are among us, here are a few important points to consider for your summer skincare routine - even if your skin is not susceptible to burns. 

It Prevents Skin Inflammation

Our immune system plays an essential role in keeping the body's tissue and skin in optimal health. UV radiation harms the DNA of immune-protecting cells. This, in turn, leads to inflammation and free radical damage to your skin. Immune suppression decreases your body's ability to generate and protect these cells which are meant to protect you from harmful illnesses, such as skin cancer.

It Prevents Hyperpigmentation

Hyperpigmentation is when your skin darkens in patches due to changes in the production of melanin. This is often caused by excessive sun exposure. People with darker skin are naturally more likely to develop hyperpigmentation, so suncream plays a vital role in protecting your skin and maintaining its health.

It Prevents Premature Ageing

UV radiation is known to cause the breakdown of collagen and elastin in the skin, resulting in fine lines and wrinkles to develop prematurely. Regular use of sunscreen aids you in maintaining the youthfulness of your skin correctly.

Two other things worth investing into this season: an SPF foundation and  an effective vitamin C serum. An SPF foundation covers and protects, while a vitamin c seem can help you combat the exposure to free radicals and UV rays, stop the premature signs of ageing and keep your skin healthy.
