With summer on its way in, you may have noticed how hot and intense the sun has been. Many people have likely already had their first sunburn. Unsurprisingly, research shows that the sun’s rays are becoming stronger due to a depleting ozone layer. With stronger sun rays, preventing skin damage becomes even more crucial.
Sunscreen is one of the best ways to prevent sunburns from UVB rays and skin damage from UVA rays that cause signs of aging and skin cancer. Brampton Cosmetic carries tons of SPF-packed products to incorporate into your routine, as well as other spa-quality skincare products to create the perfect summer skincare routine.
An ideal summer skincare routine starts with a gentle cleanser to remove oil, a light moisturizer or SPF moisturizer and/or a light serum. If you wear makeup, you can incorporate SPF makeup products to increase your sun protection. A face mist is a great addition for a refreshing, moisturizing pick-me-up on hot days. Exfoliators that help remove excess dead and dry skin are great for nighttime routines to avoid sunburns caused by chemical exfoliators. Other products like retinols can also increase sunlight sensitivity and should also be reserved for nighttime routines, and sunscreen should always be applied the next morning.
You’ll also want to incorporate either a chemical or mineral sunscreen into your routine. If you use a chemical sunscreen, it should be applied as the very first product after cleansing so that it can penetrate the skin and provide the necessary protection. Mineral or physical sunscreens should be applied after moisturizers and other products to create a physical barrier of protection. However, this is just a guide, always be sure to follow the product directions for the best results. Sunscreen should be applied every time you leave the house, even if it’s just for 10 or 15 minutes. Sunscreen should also be applied indoors if you’ve got lots of bright sunlight coming through the windows and your skin is exposed to it for long periods of time, for example, if you work in front of a sunny window all day. Be sure to reapply sunscreen frequently throughout the day, including each time you get out of the water when swimming.
Wearing sunscreen every day is essential for skin cancer prevention, but it can also help prevent premature signs of aging like wrinkles and sunspots.
