How to Protect Your Skin from UV Damage This Spring


As the days get warmer and sunnier, it's time to refresh your skincare routine to keep your skin healthy and protected. Many people underestimate the impact of UV rays during spring, but sun exposure can cause premature aging, hyperpigmentation, and even skin cancer. Here’s everything you need to know about shielding your skin from UV damage this season.


Why SPF is Essential Year-Round


UV rays don’t take a break, and neither should your sun protection! There are two main types of ultraviolet (UV) rays that affect the skin:

  • UVA Rays: These penetrate deep into the skin and contribute to premature aging, wrinkles, and sunspots.

  • UVB Rays: These cause sunburns and play a key role in the development of skin cancer.

Even on cloudy days, up to 80% of UV rays can penetrate through clouds, making SPF a daily must-have—no matter the season!





Top Tips for UV Protection This Spring


  1. Wear SPF 30+ Daily

  • Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen that protects against both UVA and UVB rays.
  • Apply at least two fingers’ worth of sunscreen to cover your face and neck.



  2. Reapply Sunscreen Every 2 Hours

  • Sunscreen wears off due to sweat, water, and natural oil production.
  • If you're outdoors for extended periods, set a reminder to reapply!


  3. Don’t Forget Often-Missed Areas

  • Hands, neck, ears, and lips are highly exposed to the sun but often neglected.
  • Use a lip balm with SPF and reapply frequently.


  4. Opt for Lightweight, Non-Greasy Formulas

  • Spring calls for lighter skincare products to prevent clogged pores and breakouts.
  • Look for gel-based or water-based sunscreens for a breathable finish.

The Power of Double Cleansing: Why One Cleanse Isn’t Enough Ever washed your face and still felt like there was a layer of dirt left behind? You’re not imagining it!

If you’ve ever struggled with breakouts, dull skin, or clogged pores , double cleansing might just be the game-changer your skin has been craving!  What is Double Cleansing? Double cleansing is a two-step method that uses two types of cleansers to thoroughly remove impurities from your skin: Step 1: Oil-Based Cleanser – Removes makeup, sunscreen, and excess sebum.
