Let’s talk about a particular skincare product that has proven to do good things to your skin but doesn’t have enough people that swear by it… sunscreen.
We’re looking at all of you who don’t include any SPF as an integral part of your skincare regimen… because it’s not just for those who don’t want to get a tan!
Believe it or not, we’ve all had the same misconception once upon a time. And if you still hold true to that thought, we’re about to change your mind. Here’s why it’s so important to apply sunscreen every day:
So your skin is protected from harmful UV rays

Ultraviolet radiation a.k.a. UV rays emitted from the sun can cause serious damage to the skin. Sunscreen can protect you against that because it minimises the penetration of UV rays into the skin. But this doesn’t mean that you only need to sunscreen when you’re under the sun. UV rays can also penetrate through clouds on rainy days or glass windows when you’re indoors!
So your risk of skin cancer is lowered

Another important reason you should make wearing sunscreen a priority daily is to protect you from developing skin cancers like melanoma, which is the deadliest type caused by long-term exposure to UV rays. In this case, regular application for days, months, and even years is the best for overall protection.
So you can prevent premature aging

Who doesn’t want youthful, radiant, bouncy, and healthy-looking skin? No matter your age, it’s always nice to hear compliments about you looking younger than you really are. But if you’re struggling in this area, one of the common causes of fine lines and wrinkles is prolonged sun exposure. Hence using sunscreen can help guard your skin against premature aging!
So you can maintain an even skin tone

You may be wondering why you have random brown spots developing on your skin over the years. Living in this tropical country, it’s normal to get sun spots, hyperpigmentation, and discoloration as we age. This is, again, all thanks to the sun. Excess sun exposure can cause uneven skin tone. But sunscreen can help you prevent this from happening!
To sum it up, every age, gender, skin tone, and skin type needs sunscreen. Darker skin tones may have extra protection against the sun because of the higher levels of melanin, but it doesn’t mean that the sun doesn’t affect the skin.
Since you won’t normally be exposed to the sun for the entire day every day, your daily sun protection can be between SPF 30 and SPF 50. So, find a cream that you’re most comfortable with and make it a daily essential.
Kashmeera, a local brand that highlights natural beauty, has a great range of products that offer skin protection—including its SPF 50 Effective Filter, helping you achieve healthier and brighter skin. Applying sunscreen may seem like an additional step that’s not necessary, but remember that it’s crucial to maintaining healthy skin.
