Why you have to wear a sunscreen

Why you have to wear sunscreen!

So, I have to admit I am shocked knowing that a lot of people do not wear their sunscreen! Let me tell you this much, wear it and if your friend or family member does not wear it, ask them to wear it, it is such an important step in your routine, I would say the most important step, no matter where you are from, which skin color you have or how old you are, you do have to wear sunscreen. I know for some it might be difficult to understand why yous should wear it, but that is why I will explain it to you. I know some people might find sunscreen annoying and uncomfortable and you might see it gives you a white cast, well that actually just means you did not find the right sunscreen yet, there are tons and tons of different sunscreens out there, some are good and some are bad and yes it can take a long time to find one that works for you and you truly enjoy using it, I for instance first found one that works for me a few months ago, and I have always been wearing sunscreen. I always wore it although my family made fun of me for it, and I was told that if I got some extra sun in my face my acne would go away, and that leads me to my first point, no acne will not go away from spending time tanning, actually, it will get worse, since it will get inflamed and it might create dark spots and scarring, so if you have acne and want to get rid of it, sunscreen will be your best friend.

Do you want to use anti-aging skincare? Will guess what, sunscreen is the best anti-aging product you can get. Since as you might know already, we have something called UV-rates, and that damages our skin. Then let me tell you we have more than 1 kind of UV, we have UVA and UVB, so UVA is what makes your skin age, it breaks down your elasticity in your skin and as you age you will get some saggy skin in your face or on your body, it also will give you wrinkles. So, UVA is basically always there, even when you are inside, it is there as long as there is a window, so also wear sunscreen inside, the only time you don´t get exposed to UVA is when it is night, that is why there is no need to wear sunscreen when you sleep, or when you are in a room completely isolated from any light from the outside. keep in mind UVA id also there when you are on a plane, actually on a plane is where you are exposed to the highest amount of UVA because you are a lot closer to the sun, so make sure when you fly to reapply that sunscreen. 

So UVB is what burns you, and can cause other skin diseases such as skin cancer, this is one of the main reasons why you should wear sunscreen, you need to protect yourself from diseases which can be prevented, especially if all it takes is to wear a bit of sunscreen. 

Now if you want to go full-on anti-age mode, or you have sun allergy like me, try to replay both bodies and face sunscreen every 2-3 hours depending on how active you are and much sun you are exposed to. Personally, I also prefer wearing hats and sunglasses on super sunny days, I do sometimes try to wear long-sleeved shirts, however, let´s just say that is a bit too hot, so maybe just stick to the hat and the reapplying sunscreen. 

I have some post which shows my absolutely favorite sunscreens, if you are interested you can go read those and see if you might find one you like, hope I helped you find a good reason to wear your SPF.
