There’s a reason we speak so much about the importance of sunscreen. It will protect your skin from cancer-causing UV rays and, with skin cancer cases on the rise, it’s always worth reminding yourself to keep your skin shielded. But what if we told you there are other reasons to make the extra step worthwhile?
Using the best facial sunscreen is the single most important thing you can do for your skin, according to skin expert and founder of the Adonia Medical Clinic, Dr Ifeoma Ejikeme. "Using sunscreen daily is crucial for everyone, regardless of skin tone, because it provides an extra layer of protection against both UVA and UVB rays," she says. "UV rays can penetrate the skin and cause damage. Sunscreen works by absorbing, reflecting, or scattering the UV rays, thus preventing them from reaching the deeper layers of the skin."
