When in doubt, always put on sunscreen! Sunscreen is a crucial part of your day time skin care, even on cloudy days because 80% of UV rays are able to pass through those clouds. And before you ask, yes even if you’re working indoors, if there are windows those UV rays can still get to you! The first commercial sunscreen was invented in 1936 and since then, the evolution of sunscreen has only seen sunny days. Let Beauty Insider tell you all about sunscreen.

Why is Sunscreen Important?

If you’re still hesitant on adopting that sunscreen into your morning routine. Here are five reasons why you should just go for it. 

Protection Against UV Rays

First and foremost, let’s begin with the basic reason we lather sunscreen on our skin; UV Rays. Harmful UV rays can be extremely damaging to our skin, causing sunburn and cause premature aging. With the use of sunscreen, you wouldn’t have to worry about the damage from UV rays. It reduces the risk of sunburn and protects your skin from aging faster than it should. 

Lowers the Risk of Skin Cancer

In Singapore, skin cancer is among the top 10 most common forms of cancer in women according to a research by Gleneagles Hospital. Applying your sunblock daily, will reduce the risk of having skin cancer or melanoma by 50%. 

Prevents Premature Skin Aging 

Sun damage can cause photoaging of the skin. Lines, sagging, and wrinkles at a young age? We don’t want that! Studies have shown that those who actively put on sunscreen below the age of 55 have a quarter less of a chance of developing early signs of aging compared to those who don’t. 

Helps You Maintain an Even Skin Tone

Discolouration and dark spots can be a side effect of sun damage. Sunscreen can prevent this and help you get an even and smooth skin tone. Need we say more? 

Protects Your Skin for Dehydration

Research has uncovered that an increased amount of stromelysin-1 is found inside the skin after UVA exposure under microscopic examination. Stromelysin-1 is a “moisturizing factor degrading enzyme” responsible for causing moisture loss and dehydration spiral in skin leading to many problems including dryness, breakouts and skin irritation.
