Wearing sunscreen to protect our skin from the harsh rays of the sun is a well-known fact. Whether you’re jetting off abroad (check out our ultimate travel guide if that’s the plan!) or sunning it up in your back garden, sunscreen is essential to avoiding that dreaded lobster-like glow.
However, there is a common misconception that sunscreen should only be applied when you’re spending time outside and the sun is shining. Whilst it is extremely important to protect ourselves on hot days, it is now recommended by dermatologists that sunscreen should be worn daily - yep, every single day. There is medical proof that any sun exposure can result in damage to our skin, with different types of UV radiation having varying effects. From the immediately apparent sunburn caused by UVB rays, to the deeply penetrating damage resulting from UVA, you should do all you can to protect your skin from the sun.
