The Essential Sun Protection Routine for Healthy, Happy Skin

Going out for a beach vacation to have a fun time with your friends or family? You might want to share happy moments and relax in nature. Preparing for the sunny weather is not just about wearing fashionable summer clothes. Your skin also needs attention.

Sun's rays can damage your skin before you even know it. This is why keeping an umbrella or a cap with you won't be sufficient enough. You need something that protects your skin all day long. Stepping out in the sun might cause your skin to age faster and make it look dull or uneven. So it's important to have sun protection handy at any time.
Following a simple skincare routine can make your skin glowing and flawless. Regularly applying and re-applying sunscreen helps your skin to fight the tough battle with the UV rays. This complete guide has everything you need to know about building the right sun protection routine for effective results. 

Why Do You Need a Sun Protection Cream?

The sun can damage your skin over a period of time, even though you don't notice it. This is how the harmful rays affect your skin health and appearance

    • UVA rays and skin aging
These rays go deep into the skin and break down collagen. This leads to wrinkles and skin loosening over time. 

    • UVB rays and burning
These affect the top layer of your skin. This causes sunburn and irritation.

    • Use of Gadgets
Going out on cloudy days and the use of phones and tablets increases the contact of your skin with blue light. It leads to pigmentation, dullness and makes the skin age faster.       
 

Not using sunscreen can cause dark spots and uneven skin tone, speed up skin aging, and lead to skin cancer.  Using an anti-aging sunscreen daily helps reduce these effects. It keeps your skin looking smoother and brighter, protects skin barrier, and contributes to skin longevity.

Step 2: How to Know if Your Anti-Aging Sunscreen is Effective?  

Choosing the right anti-aging sunscreen is not just about SPF. It is about how well it protects and how comfortable it feels on your skin.   

• Broad spectrum protection
  It protects your skin from both UVA and UVB damage.
  

• SPF level
  Higher SPF gives more protection for those who are outdoors for a long time. 
  

• Lightweight, with no heavy, chalky residue.
  Buy a lightweight sunscreen that doesn't block pores or feel sticky, and do it’s primary job - to stay on the surface to intercept UV rays before they cause damage.

• Look at the Ingredients
  The healthiest, safest, and most effective SPF protection are sunscreens with mineral ingredients.

Easy Steps to Incorporate Sunscreen into Your Daily Routine

Apply Sunscreen Evenly as a Last Step of Your Morning Routing. 

• Use the right amount
  Use a sufficient amount of sunscreen for your face and neck.
  

• Cover all areas
  Include ears, hairline, neck, and décolleté.
  

• Blend properly
  Make sure that you don't miss any areas on the face

• Apply before going out in the sun 
  Use sunscreen on your face, arms and neck at least 20 minutes before stepping out.

Always Re-Apply Again to Protect Skin 

Sunscreen’s effectiveness correlates with SPF. Applying sunscreen again after some hours keeps the skin protected during the day. 

• Use it After Frequent Intervals
  Reapply every 2 hours, or immediately after swimming, sweating, or toweling off

• Easy touch-ups
  Use lightweight sunscreen formulas that layer well over makeup.
