So I'm sure you are all aware that we should wear an SPF (sun protection factor) daily. Its actually a little scary what skipping the step of an SPF can do to our skins. This post is not to terrify you all but just to educate you all on what we should be doing to protect our skins.
SPF is actually the best form of an Anti-ager which helps prevent early signs of aging.
We all have this misconception that you only need to wear Sun creams on holidays or if you're that unfortunate soul that burns to a crisp just by looking at the sun.
You may be cautious to the fact that you don't want to burn but, UV rays are strong all year round and can harm the skin no matter what the weather. Constant exposure can result in breaking down the elastin in your skin, elastin is what makes our skin plump and young looking. The most important time to protect the skin is actually in your teens & early 20s as once we hit our mid 20s our skin is already aging so its important to keep it protected while we are younger. This does not mean that once you hit your mid 20s you stop protecting it... Always protect that skin !!!
The SPF in our foundations is not ever enough to protect the skin so always apply a base spf under your spf, no it will not affect the application of your foundation.
So, as we all start preparing for holidays this year, whether its a Sunny beach side holiday or you're heading to the mountains to Ski, start making sure you are protecting the skin from today.
My favourite SPF to use is the "Comfort Zone Sun Soul" Range.
I hope this gave you all a little insight into how important it is to wear an Spf.
I will do more posts in more detail soon.
Much love as always,
