Why SPF is so important and why you should wear it daily UK News

SPF keeps your skin healthy, youthful looking, but more importantly protects it from those UV rays, even when you think they’re not there.

Abi Cleeve, MD for Ultrasun UK, told the news agency how important SPF is in our daily routines and why we should always wear it.

Why should I wear SPF?

The right SPF products can now multitask: Cleeve says good UV protection products are now multi-tasking, offering a lightweight formula that can replace BB and CC creams while also providing improved anti-aging, anti-pollution, skin radiance and smoothing benefits – “Alongside the crucial SPF and UVA filter as standard.”

She adds, “Choosing a multitasking SPF can perform more than one step in your skincare routine, actually streamlining it.

“The good news is that the formulas have evolved so much and the choices are much wider. Don’t be put off by old experiences with thick oily finishes – there are plenty of lightweight options that protect without weighing skin down.

Choosing the right face SPF will reward you for years to come: We talked about it before, but SPF will keep your skin young and protect it from diseases such as melanoma.

“When choosing an SPF, make sure your sunscreen says ‘broad spectrum’ on the label, which means the product protects against both UVA and UVB rays,” advises Dr. Pamela Benito, Teoxane (teoxaneshop.co .uk) specialist in facial aesthetics.

Benito suggests that SPF may reduce the risk of skin cancer when used as directed with other sunscreen measures. If you are concerned about sun damage, consult your GP for advice.
