The crucial skincare mistake 74% of people are making – and why it should *never* be skipped

New research from Beauty Pie says that only 26% of the population wears sunscreen every day. This leaves the other 74% of people vulnerable to skin damage, premature skin ageing and even an increased risk of developing skin cancer. 

Ask any dermatologist and they'll tell you about the importance of daily suncare; it's the single best thing you can do for your skin. Protecting it with your best facial sunscreen daily, whatever the weather, will lead to healthier, plumper and safer skin. In fact, the skincare hill our beauty team will die on is wearing adequate sun protection every single day, be it a straightforward facial sunscreen or one of the best moisturisers with SPF – because at the end of the day, there’s no point splashing out on expensive serums or painful treatments if you don't protect your skin, too.
