Does it REALLY matter if I use sunscreen?!

Sun Protection

Use broad-spectrum sunscreen as directed, together with other sun-protection measures.

UVA Protection

1. Both UVA and UVB exposure matter when choosing sun protection. Check for broad-spectrum labeling and follow the directions.
2. Long wavelength UVA, which comprises the vast majority of UV light is very close in wavelength to visible light.  

A simple rule of thumb: when you are outside in daytime, you should protect against UVA even if the sun isn’t hot or doesn’t shine.  UVA comes through car windows and windshield as you drive causing premature aging; wrinkles brown spots and uneven skin tone.

Lightning products make the skin sensitive to sunlight therefore it can result in the skin becoming darker overtime.

Common Misconceptions:

If a moisturizer or makeup includes sunscreen, check its Drug Facts, broad-spectrum labeling and directions. Apply and reapply as directed; do not assume that a light makeup application provides the labeled protection.

Sun damage doesn’t just occur from lying on the beach.  It happens all the time; during winter and summer, through sunshine and rain.   

Since most sun spots are triggered by the sun, a minimum SPF 30 is highly recommended with broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection every day especially during and after lightening and brightening treatments as well as limiting sun exposure.
