About SPF!!

Let’s be real…

I used to think SPF was just for beach days.

Now it’s the #1 step I never skip, even when it’s cloudy, even indoors.

Here’s what I wish someone told me years ago 👇

📌 Save this if you’re serious about your skin!!

... Read moreSun exposure can lead to serious skin issues, and understanding SPF is crucial in protecting yourself. Many believe that sunscreen is only necessary when the sun is shining brightly, but that’s a myth. Daily UV exposure, even indoors, can contribute to skin aging and damage over time. In fact, ultraviolet (UV) rays are known as the number one cause of premature skin aging! Women often feel their makeup with SPF is sufficient. However, reapplication is key for effective protection, as makeup can wear off throughout the day. It’s advisable to reapply your sunscreen every two hours, especially if you are in direct sunlight or are active. Choosing the right SPF is also essential. Products like Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun, La Roche-Posay Anthelios SPF, and Supergoop! Glow Screen are some popular recommendations. These products not only offer robust protection but also provide additional skin benefits like hydration and a radiant finish, making them perfect for daily use. For winter conditions, many believe that they are safe from UV damage, but UV rays can penetrate clouds and reflect off surfaces like snow. Thus, wearing a broad-spectrum SPF daily is essential all year round. Ultimately, adopting a consistent skincare routine that incorporates SPF will safeguard your skin against UV damage and premature aging. Make SPF a non-negotiable part of your daily routine for healthier and more youthful skin.

do you use SPF even if it's winter?
#winterbeauty #lemon8contest #skincare #spf I do because even though temperatures are cooler, harmful UVA/UVB rays are still present, and snow can reflect up to 80% of UV radiation, increasing exposure risk. 📌 gel mask twice a week 📌 PDRN pink collagen capsule cream every night 📌
