SKIN AGING
These sneaky rays can come through windows and cloud cover according to the Skin Cancer Foundation. It's important to use sunscreen with Broad-Spectrum Protection to combat these rays.
SKIN BURNING
According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, these rays are related to the SPF of sunscreen. Protect your skin all year round, especially at high altitudes or on reflective surfaces like snow or ice.
Makeup with SPF in it isn't enough to protect your skin. It's important to make sunscreen a part of your morning routine and re-apply throughout the day, especially when UV rays are the strongest from 10 am-4 pm. Not to mention, sun safe practices also prevent signs of aging.
