Why do you need sunscreen?

Sunscreen isn’t just for beach days!

It’s one of the most important steps in your daily skincare routine and here’s why:

1. It protects your skin against sun damage and premature aging

Up to 90% of visible skin aging is caused by sun exposure. Think fine-lines, wrinkles, dark spots, uneven tone, dullness, and a loss of firmness or plumpness.

Sunscreen helps slow all of that down.

Without sun protection, you're not just risking long-term damage; you could also experience dryness, breakouts, and irritation that make your skin harder to manage day-to-day.

Here's the kicker: even the best skincare routine won't do much if you're not wearing sunscreen. It's the foundation that protects all the hardwork from your skincare routine.

2. Preventing skin cancer

Sun damage doesn't just age you skin, it increases your risk of skin cancer. In fact, 1 in 5 Americans will develop some form of skin cancer by the age of 70.

Sun damage adds up over time. Every tan and every burn increases your risk. Even if you don’t burn easily, repeated sun exposure causes cumulative damage that builds year after year.

Wearing sunscreen regularly, especially when spending time outdoors, can significantly reduce your risk. It’s a small daily habit that can help prevent serious health issues in the future.
