10 reasons to invest in a sunscreen
Yes, you’ve probably heard it a million times now and as you’re reading this it’s in the back of your head “wear sunscreen everyday”. If it’s not, then let’s learn, and if you know but still don’t follow – then we have a crisis 😛
Here are 10 reasons to make you wanna wear SPF everyday!
1. There’s a difference between tanning and sunburning. While tanning is cool, sunburning is a hell no and as the name suggests, it literally burns your skin cells and damages them permanently. Wear your SPF everyday, no matter the season.
2. We usually hear people say, “but I don’t go out as much, I am indoors all day, I don’t wear sunscreen indoors”. This is a big red flag!!! Even if you are indoors, the UV light finds its way through the windows to penetrate in your skin to damage it. Even if you are indoors, it is irrefutable that you wear SPF, every single day, even if it is a cloudy day.
3. Unprotected exposure to sun can have long-lasting effects on your skin that are very difficult to fix.
4. No sunscreen = leading cause of skin damage, photoaging, DNA damage, hyperpigmentation, dark spots, risk of cancer, and sunburn.
5. The skincare foundation claims that applying sunscreen everyday reduces your chances of developing the deadliest skin cancer (squamous cell carcinoma) by 50%.
6. SPF also prevents early signs of aging, fine lines and wrinkles so that you have young and healthy skin by the time you’re old.
7. It is common for Indian skin to develop pigmentation and hyperpigmentation because of the reactive melanin especially in the India skin. When parts of skin become darker inconsistently and discolors, this means that your skin is affected because of unprotective sun exposure causing hyperpigmentation.
8. SPF = investment for your skin. You will see the ROI, which will be too good for you to discontinue.
9. Sunlight also causes DNA damage ultimately leading to inflammation, accelerated aging, and tumor development.
10. Sunscreen prevents skin discoloration, sun-spots, dark spots, and pigmentation which can stay on your skin permanently.
There’s no doubt – sunscreen protects your skin!
