Pros and cons of year-round sunscreen, when and if it should be applied all year round? In this article
Can sunscreen be applied all year round?
There are no contraindications to applying sunscreen all year round, because the skin can be exposed to UV rays even on less sunny days and times. Formulations with Plusolina are recommended by many dermatologists as a year-round protective product because they are well tolerated even by the most delicate skin.
Can sunscreen become your daily face cream in summer?
In summer, when it's very hot, it's better to opt for an essential skincare routine. Few steps, but with targeted products. In the morning, after cleansing, you can immediately apply sunscreen if you are heading to the beach or for an outdoor walk. For athletes who choose to train outdoors, it is better not to forget, in addition to face cream, also body sunscreen. Sunscreen sprays or lotions have the sensory appeal and practicality of being able to be applied quickly even to larger areas of the body.
How often and how to apply sunscreen?
To get the most out of your facial sunscreen, you need to know how to use it. It is important to apply UV protection at least every 2-3 hours because light, heat, and sweat can weaken its effectiveness, just as it is essential to reapply sunscreen even after swimming in the sea. No matter how water-resistant a product may be, there are no formulations that resist prolonged contact with water.
Is sunscreen necessary even in winter?
Can using a face sunscreen every day really curb the appearance of wrinkles and blemishes? Certainly, solar radiation is among the main causes of skin aging: UV rays accelerate the process of cellular oxidation and the formation of free radicals. In addition, sunlight dries and dehydrates the skin, making wrinkles more evident. In summer, when the sun is direct, it is truly indispensable to choose a sunscreen to prevent all these situations as well as more serious skin damage. Warning: even with cloudy and overcast skies, it is advisable to protect the skin because radiation filters through equally!
But in winter, is it really necessary to apply face sunscreen every day? In winter, the beauty routine involves several steps, including generally heavier makeup. Daylight hours decrease and many people, during the week, do not have the opportunity to expose themselves to the sun very often. In these cases, face sunscreen might not be necessary: just choose effective products like creams with Fospidina, which already guarantee an antioxidant and regenerating action. However, it is highly recommended not to forget sunscreen in winter if you spend the weekend on the snow, due to the reflection of UV rays on the snow.
Complete your summer beauty routine
Even if face sunscreen replaces moisturizer, it does not completely exclude it from your beauty routine. Upon returning from the beach and after showering, it is imperative to apply a body after-sun cream and a regenerating cream or serum for the face. Creams with Fospidina are an excellent skin restorer even after many hours spent in the sun, while for the body, formulations with aloe, shea butter, and almond oil are also exceptional.
