Sunscreen is important for:
1. Protecting your skin against sun damage and premature aging
Up to 90% of aging can be attributed to the sun. This means fine-lines, wrinkles, dark spots, uneven skin tone, dullness, and loss of plumpness can be slowed by using sunscreen.
Sun damage can lead to a variety of other issues: extreme dryness, painful breakouts, constant irritation, and more.
Not wearing sunscreen when having a skincare routine will undo all the benefits of your skincare.
2. Preventing skin cancer
Statistically, 1 in 5 Americans will develop a form of skin cancer by the age of 70. Wearing sunscreen when exposed to the sun can decrease your chances significantly.
