It’s easy to assume that just because the sun isn’t out, you don’t need to use a product with SPF in it. But UV-A rays are constantly present, no matter the season or the weather and these are the ones that cause the skin to age because they are able to penetrate much deeper into the surface of the skin, damaging the cells beneath.
Therefore, it is important to apply sunscreen all year around so that you don’t damage your skin. Even if you are at home, it is a good idea to apply sunscreen on exposed parts as rays can creep in from the windows, doors. And if you are stepping out, make sure you reapply it after every two hours. Choose a sunscreen which is at least 30 SPF and provides protection against both UV-A, UV-B rays.
