The Importance of SPF All Year Round

Why Daily SPF is Your Skin’s Best Friend – Even in Winter

When you hear “SPF,” you might think of summer holidays and beach days. But the truth is, sun protection is essential every single day, no matter the season or the weather. UV damage is one of the biggest contributors to premature ageing, pigmentation, and even skin cancers — and it happens silently, even on cloudy days.

Why SPF Matters Year-Round

• UVA vs UVB:

  • UVA rays (think “A for ageing”) penetrate deep into the skin, causing fine lines, wrinkles, and collagen breakdown. They’re present all year and can even penetrate windows.

  • UVB rays (think “B for burning”) are stronger in the summer and cause sunburn, but also contribute to long-term skin damage.

    
    

• Invisible Damage: You might not see a burn in the winter, but UVA rays are still affecting your skin daily.

• Prevents Premature Ageing: Daily SPF helps keep your skin firm, smooth, and youthful by protecting collagen.

• Helps Prevent Pigmentation: Regular sun exposure can trigger uneven skin tone and dark spots.

How to Choose and Use SPF Properly

• Opt for a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ to protect against both UVA and UVB rays.

• Apply SPF every morning as the last step in your skincare routine (before makeup).

• Don’t forget easy-to-miss areas like the neck, chest, and hands.

• Reapply if you’re spending long periods outdoors.
