You may wear SPF sunscreen when you are on holiday, but did you know that dermatologists advise the wearing of SPF every-day, even when it’s not sunny? Read on to discover the benefits you could gain from wearing SPF every-day, and why Hair Bare’s Protect You is a great option for those seeking an SPF.
SPF prevents skin cancer
First of all, SPF sunscreen protects the skin by blocking harmful UVA and UVB rays. UVA is a longer wavelength linked to skin aging, whereas UVB is a shorter wavelength linked to skin burning. You should take steps to avoid getting sunburnt because it increases the risk of skin cancer (melanoma). This is why many of us prioritise wearing sunscreen when we are on holiday. However, although you might not think to wear it once you’re back in colder climates, UV radiation penetrates through clouds. This means that you are still vulnerable to its harmful effects every day. Luckily, you can protect yourself by taking just a few extra minutes in the morning to apply sunscreen. By wearing an SPF of at least 15 every day, you lower your risk of skin cancer by about 40%.
It is especially important to wear sunscreen after a Hair Bare treatment because Hair Bare chemically exfoliates the skin-cells. Removing dead skin cells is crucial for achieving brighter, smoother skin. However, it does mean that your skin is more vulnerable to harmful UV rays. This is why a Hair Bare treatment package is always finished up with our SPF30 cream, Protect You.
