WHY SPF IS YOUR HOLY GRAIL?
Still experiencing skin discoloration, pigmentation, and spots over the winter and wondering why your regular moisturizer isn't helping? Because we have always believed that if anything were to happen to our skin during the winter, it would be because of how dry it is, and a lotion or moisturizer would take care of everything. Oh yes, you forgot your sunscreen.
Many believe that SPF is only necessary during the summer. However, we must understand that SPF is something we require year-round, even in the cold. When we go outside during the day, SPF serves as a protection for us. It literally shields us from sunburns and other heat hazards. To put it broadly, SPF shields us from sunburns while also maintaining the moisture and hydration of our skin and preventing chapped skin.
Well, speaking of SPF, I'm sure that all of you have some questions about it. It's okay, though, because I too once had a lot of them. So, the most frequent query we all encountered while learning about the wonders of SPF and why it's our holy grail is when we should start using sunscreen. And the response is that a newborn can wear sunscreen, but only after six months, as the first six months after a baby is born are a very vulnerable time and the skin of babies is rather sensitive, so we shouldn't take any chances.
In terms of beauty, sunscreen is the pinnacle of adulthood. Since it contributes to anti-aging as well. In fact, it has been found that those who use sunscreen daily are more likely to notice the effects of anti-aging. One study claims that regular sunscreen users are more likely to have 24% less skin aging than those who only use it occasionally. The Annals of Internal Medicine published the results of this study.
We are all aware that the two types of UV rays that often have an impact on us are UVA and UVB rays. And these rays cause skin aging, wrinkles, and with continued exposure, sunburns and even skin cancer. E. Victor Ross, claims that “in addition to producing normal cells, our skin also has the capacity to produce abnormal cells, which have the capacity to develop into cancerous cells. Our body's immune system responds by battling them and eliminating them, but exposure to the sun lowers our ability to defend against those abnormal cells. Consequently, those cells multiply and cause skin cancer.”
Now that we understand why SPF is our holy grail and how it benefits us, we recommend you always wear sunscreen when leaving the house because, like water, it is your best buddy.
