Still not wearing sunscreen daily? Take a look at these photos…

It is one the main points that we always try to drive home to our clients…. You need to wear sunscreen everyday! 

Wearing sunscreen daily is the best gift you can give your future self. Protecting your skin from light is key – it does not matter if it’s sunny or not. If you have a face and it is daylight – You need to protect it! This is one of the most effective ways to prevent signs of premature ageing, such as fine lines, wrinkles, rough texture, and dark spots—not to mention prevention of skin cancer.

If you need more reasons to incorporate SPF into your daily skincare routine, we’ve gathered some photos as proof for you to see the benefits for yourself…

Dr. Avi Bitterman, a dermatologist in New York, shared a photograph of an unnamed woman on Twitter. The image reveals significant sun damage on her neck, while her face, where she applied sunscreen, shows much less discoluoration and fewer wrinkles.

If these images don’t convince you of the power of sunscreen, we’re not sure what will! Our skin is our largest organ, and is constantly in front of the elements. We need to look after it for our own health.

Will My Skin Peel Too Much in Winter?

As temperatures fall and indoor heating kicks in, your skin loses precious moisture, leaving it tight, rough, and more sensitive. The seasonal shift weakens your skin’s protective barrier, causing dehydration, redness, and dullness.
