Skin ageing conditions that can worsen due to the damage caused by the sun include but are not limited to: – Wrinkles – Discolourations – Sagging skin – Rough texture – Dark circles – Enlarged pores
A basic sunscreen delivers only sun protection via sunscreen actives. At times, they may offer a hint of hydration too but not much else to help your skin in any other way. In contrast, anti-ageing sunscreens go a step further to include beneficial ingredients that give the skin an added boost of protection, usually in the form of antioxidants, which neutralise free radical damage and halt premature signs of ageing.
1. Wear Sunscreen All Day, Even When There’s No Sun 2. Go For A Sunscreen That Is At Least SPF 30 3. Carry Sun Protection Accessories Always
1. Layer your anti-ageing products, other than the anti-ageing sunscreen, in order of the thinnest to the thickest texture. Powerful antioxidants like retinol, vitamin C, and niacinamide add another layer of defence against UV damage, so it’s a brilliant idea to layer them under your sunscreen. 2. Next, apply sunscreen as the last skincare step before wearing makeup.
– Skin ageing conditions can worsen due to the damage caused by the sun. These skin conditions include but are not limited to wrinkles, discolouration, sagging skin, rough texture and even dark circles and enlarged pores. – Sunscreens offer protection from the sun and, at times, hydrate the skin. On the other hand, anti-ageing sunscreens go a step further to include beneficial ingredients that give the skin an added boost of protection, usually in the form of antioxidants. These antioxidants neutralise free radical damage and halt premature signs of ageing.
– Wearing sunscreen all day every day is necessary to protect your skin from the harmful rays of the sun. Even on cloudy days, UVA rays can penetrate glass windows. So, if you’re inside your office, car, or home most of the day, wearing sunscreen is still essential to help protect skin from premature ageing. – SPF ratings below 30 have been proven to be less effective at providing reliable protection. Therefore, opt for one that is SPF 30 or greater.
– Always carry sun protection accessories like sunshades, hats and scarves to minimise the harshness of the sun on you. – Layer your anti-ageing products, other than the anti-ageing sunscreen, in order of the thinnest to the thickest texture. Next, lather on your sunscreen before wearing makeup.
