Sun protection is an essential part of one’s morning skincare routine. While a little sun is good for skin and encourages the healthy production of Vitamin D, over exposure to UV rays damages skin and is one of the major causes of premature ageing. Intelligent sun protection ( products with SPF, Sun Protection Factor ) is a vital part of keeping skin healthy.
There are so many benefits to wearing SPF daily and with SPF in makeup products like foundation and bb products, it’s easier than ever to incorporate into your routine.
Let us help you discover the benefits of sun protection and explore some of the best NOTE SPF makeup products to try.
What is SPF?
SPF stands for sun protection factor and is used to measure how long it would take UV rays to penetrate the skin before it starts to burn.
Without the protection of SPF, skin is exposed to potential sun damage which can lead to the development of fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, hyperpigmentation, and in more serious cases, skin cancer.
However, it’s important to note that not all skincare products or makeup contain SPF, so if you’re looking for cosmetics that provide your complexion with a little extra protection, always check for an SPF rating.
Do you Need SPF Every day?
Applying a SPF should be a crucial step in your everyday skincare and makeup routine, no matter the weather.
Even when grey and overcast, you are still at risk of sun damage without the protection of SPF. UV rays can penetrate through clouds and windows, so exposure is just as harmful as being in direct sunlight.
Getting into the habit of applying a product with SPF to your skin every day will help to protect you from environmental aggressors, and help to prevent early signs of skin aging, maintaining a healthy-looking skin.
