By now, we’re aware that wearing sun protection to prevent sunburn – and long-term skin damage – is essential. Most of us will also know that wearing sunscreen protects us from signs of ageing; indeed, the sun is one of the leading contributors to wrinkles and fine lines.
Unfortunately, due to climate change, our increased exposure to UV rays and hotter temperatures has the potential to accelerate skin ageing like never before (which is why the best facial sunscreen is so essential). This phenomenon is increasingly being referred to as "heat ageing" – and it’s something dermatologists and skin experts are worried about.
