Daily sun protection – why it is essential

Many people associate sun protection only with summer or beach holidays. In reality, UV radiation affects our skin all year round – even on cloudy days or in winter. Consistent daily sun protection is one of the most important steps to keep the skin healthy, youthful and even-toned.

Benefits of daily UV protection

    •    Prevents skin ageing: Up to 80% of visible skin ageing is caused by UV rays. Wrinkles, pigmentation and loss of elasticity can be significantly delayed with daily sunscreen.
    •    Protects against skin cancer: UV exposure is the main risk factor for skin cancer. Daily sun protection greatly reduces this risk.
    •    Prevents pigmentation spots: Sun exposure worsens existing spots and causes new ones. A high SPF helps maintain an even complexion.
    •    Relevant all year round: Even in winter or on cloudy days, up to 80% of UV rays reach the skin. UVA rays are particularly harmful as they penetrate through glass.

Tips for proper sun protection

    1.    Apply every day – sunscreen should be the final step in your morning routine.
    2.    Use enough product – about a hazelnut-sized amount for the face.
    3.    Choose broad-spectrum protection – against both UVA and UVB rays.
    4.    SPF 30 minimum – sufficient for daily use, SPF 50 for stronger sun exposure.
    5.    Reapply regularly – every 2–3 hours when outdoors.
    6.    Adapt to your skin type – lightweight fluids for oily skin, rich creams for dry skin, special formulas for sensitive skin.

Conclusion
Sunscreen is not just for summer – it’s an essential part of daily skincare. It protects against skin damage, slows down ageing and keeps the complexion even. Using sun protection every day is an investment in healthy, radiant skin.
