If there is one skincare step that pays off more than anything else you do, this is it. SPF is not just a sunscreen. For your skin, it is a preservation strategy. UV radiation is responsible for an estimated 80 to 90 percent of the visible changes we associate with aging: fine lines, brown spots, uneven tone, loss of elasticity. And here is the part that surprises most people: you are getting that UV exposure even when it is cloudy, even when you are driving, even when you are sitting by a window indoors.
The other thing worth knowing is that SPF protects your treatment results. If you have invested in chemical peels, laser treatments, microneedling, or fillers, daily sun protection is what keeps that investment from diminishing faster than it should. It extends your results and keeps your skin in better condition for future treatments. SPF 30 minimum, every morning, year-round.
That one habit does more for your long-term skin health than almost any product you could add to your routine. Not sure which formula works best for your skin type? Ask us at your next visit.
