You've probably heard this a thousand times, but it's important to say it one more time: Sunscreen is an essential part of every skincare regime. Whether it's sunny or cloudy, you are staying home or going out... Never forget to apply a high SPF sunscreen to protect your face. Wearing sunscreen protects your skin from UV rays, prevents premature aging, helps maintain an even skin tone avoiding dark spots, and even lower skin cancer risk! It’s basic in my routine. .

UV rays can pass through clouds, windows and even reflect on snow. Sun damage is one of the main factors in premature aging and wrinkles! In fact, protecting ourselves from harmful rays is so important that we should be wearing sunscreen daily, even when we are spending most of our time indoors. Screen time on computers, tablets, and phones, exposes you to harmful lights that can cause damage to your skin: HEV lights. This type of light can cause a loss of hydration, hyperpigmentation, and wrinkles. That’s why you must never forget to apply sunscreen in your morning skincare routine.
