Even short bursts of sun exposure can contribute to collagen loss, dehydration, pigmentation and premature ageing. What many people don’t realise is that UVA rays, the ones responsible for long-term damage, can penetrate clouds and glass. This means your skin is still exposed while driving, sitting near windows or working in a brightly lit office.
Daily sunscreen is your first line of defence. Apply every morning and reapply every two hours when outdoors, swimming, sweating or spending extended time in direct sunlight. Reapplication is the step most people skip, yet it’s the one that keeps your protection effective throughout the day.
For even better results, pair your sunscreen with ingredients that support skin health. Antioxidants help defend against free-radical damage caused by UV exposure and blue light from phones and computers. Barrier-strengthening serums with ceramides, peptides and hydrating actives help lock in moisture and support repair, especially during summer when your skin barrier is under extra stress.
Wearing SPF daily, including indoors, is one of the simplest ways to maintain healthy, bright and resilient skin. Invest in protection now and your complexion will continue to stay strong and glowing well beyond the summer season.
