5 Reasons Why SPF Must Be in Your Bag, Especially This Summer
1. SPF protects against harmful UV rays.
The main reason why it is so important to use sunscreen daily is to protect your skin from the harmful ULTRAVIOLET rays emitted by the sun.
These UV rays cause significant damage to the skin, including age spots, sunburn, premature aging, and even skin cancer (we'll come back to this topic later).
Sunscreen acts as a barrier between your skin and the sun, absorbing or reflecting UV rays while protecting your skin. By using a sunscreen with SPF protection every day, you can effectively protect your skin from over 97% of UV rays, reducing the risk of skin damage and the need to see a doctor.
2. The summer of 2024 could be the hottest summer in 40 years!
The upcoming heat waves will also mean that the sun's rays can be more aggressive than ever, so we must think about ourselves and those around us. Drink plenty of water and don't forget to use SPF cream at least once.
3. Sun protection reduces the risk of sunburn (IMPORTANT IN SUMMER).
Sunburn is a painful and unpleasant consequence of prolonged exposure to UV rays, accompanied by pigment spots, redness and irritation. Sunburn can also cause dehydration and fatigue, as well as fever. Regular use of sunscreen can help prevent all of these symptoms. And the most important reason why you need to be especially careful about sunburns is that the risk of developing skin cancer increases by as much as 13% with each sunburn.
4. SPF protects against signs of premature aging.
Wrinkles, fine lines and wrinkles are signs of premature aging. Sun exposure is one of the main factors that accelerates the natural aging of the skin.
UV rays from the sun negatively affect collagen, which is responsible for our skin's firmness and even color, elastin, and other important proteins that help maintain our skin's youthful glow. This leads to premature aging.
Daily use of sunscreen helps protect the skin's collagen and elastin by preventing rays from penetrating the skin and damaging important skin elements.
5. Reduce the risk of skin cancer.
People often avoid talking about the high risk, but statistics show that in the United States alone, an average of 9,500 cases of skin cancer are diagnosed every day (Skin Cancer Institute, 2024 data).
Ultraviolet radiation from the sun is the main cause of skin cancer. UV rays damage and change the DNA of our cells, causing them to grow and divide abnormally. The longer you are exposed to UV radiation, the greater your risk of developing skin cancer. To reduce your risk of skin cancer, it is important to protect your skin and use sunscreen every day, and to limit your exposure to the sun during peak hours (10 a.m. to 4 p.m.).
IMPORTANT! It is a mistake to believe that SPF50 has significantly higher protection than SPF30 - the difference in protection is only 1%! SPF30 blocks 97% of UVB rays, while SPF50 blocks 98%.
