We often associate sunscreen with summer holidays, beach days, and blazing sunshine. But the truth is, SPF (Sun Protection Factor) should be part of your daily skincare routine — every single day, no matter the season.

How the Sun Affects Your Skin

The sun emits ultraviolet (UV) rays, which penetrate the skin and can cause serious damage over time. The two main types of UV rays that impact our skin are:

UVA rays: These age the skin prematurely, contributing to wrinkles, fine lines, and pigmentation.
UVB rays: These burn the skin and can lead to sunburn and, over time, increase the risk of skin cancer.

Even on cloudy days or during the winter months, up to 80% of UV rays can penetrate the skin. And yes — even when you’re indoors, UVA rays can pass through windows, quietly contributing to skin damage.

The Long-Term Effects of Sun Damage

Unprotected sun exposure can result in:

Premature ageing (fine lines, loss of elasticity)
Uneven skin tone and hyperpigmentation
Sunspots or age spots
Redness and inflammation
Increased risk of skin cancer

This damage builds up over time, often without visible signs until years later. That’s why prevention is key.

How SPF Works to Protect Your Skin

SPF products act like a shield. Depending on the type, they either absorb UV radiation and convert it to harmless heat (chemical sunscreens) or physically block UV rays (mineral sunscreens).

A broad-spectrum SPF protects against both UVA and UVB rays — essential for comprehensive facial protection. Look for SPF 30 or higher, and make sure to apply it every morning as the final step in your skincare routine.

Why Daily Use Matters – Even in Winter

UV rays are present year-round — even on cloudy or cold days.
Snow reflects sunlight, increasing UV exposure in winter.
Skin repairs best when protected — daily SPF use supports healing and prevents further damage.
Consistent use reduces long-term signs of ageing and skin discoloration.
