Reasons for sun protection in your skincare : Why should you apply sunscreen? and SPF50?

As summer approaches, major cosmetic and skincare companies experience an increase in sunscreen sales. We at The Purest Solutions are here to tell you why. Sunscreen is essential for skincare due to the numerous benefits it offers to protect your skin from the harmful effects of the sun’s ultraviolet radiation (or UV rays). 

In short applying sunscreen will shield your skin from the following negative effects : 

1. Prolonged exposure to UV rays is a major reason that develops skin cancer i.e. melanoma. 
2. UV radiation accelerates the aging process by causing wrinkles, fine lines, skin sagging and age spots to appear. 
3. Sunscreen absorbs or reflects harmful UV rays which minimizes sunburns.
4. Other UV exposure related skin problems such as eczema, psoriasis, etc. are also kept at bay with regular application of sunscreen. 
5. Sun exposure also causes hyperpigmentation or dark spots due to uneven tanning or sunspot.
6. Photoaging which leads to skin being dry, rough, loss of elasticity, and formation of wrinkles is also caused by exposure to UV rays.
