Sunscreen, your skin, and your wedding

You've probably heard a lot of experts and influencers in the fields of beauty and health provide their finest skin care advice, but you might be left wondering why skincare is considered to be so crucial.

Long-term skin health depends on taking precautions with a thoughtful skin care regimen. This can assist you in preventing the onset of specific conditions and aging-related symptoms as well as easing the severity of any issues you may currently be experiencing.

Previously, many thought that individuals with sensitive skin should only prioritize a regular skin care routine with high-quality products. Nowhere near. Everyone should practice preventive skin care.

Sunscreen Can Protect Your Skin

One major skincare item that has gained attention in recent years is sunscreen. Many only think to apply it when they are going to the beach or spending an extended period in the sun. However, it should be worn everyday and reapplied every two hours, especially; on the face, neck, and chest (recommended for any area exposed to the sun).

One of the greatest and simplest methods to safeguard the health and beauty of your skin at any age is to wear sunscreen. Regular use of sunscreen aids in avoiding sunburn, skin cancer, and early aging. Your elastin, collagen, and skin cells can become damaged from repeated sun exposure with little to no protection. This can eventually result in early aging symptoms as discoloration, wrinkles, fine lines, and a leathery look.

People who spend time in the sun without protection, especially those in their 20s and 30s, are more likely to experience photoaging, or premature aging. Thankfully, consistent sunscreen usage can avoid these skin problems and protect from skin cancer.

Unfortunately, the US suncare industry is lacking years behind the East Asian market. There are newer chemicals used in Korean & Japanese sunscreens that actually offer greater UVA protection than what is now accessible in the United States. For instance,these producers are now able to incorporate UVA and UVB protection filters like Tinosorb S and M into their formulas.

Their sunscreens also wear better under makeup and provide skincare benefits. Instead of feeling thick and pasty, they frequently seem lighter and have a viscosity more akin to serum. Many even combine moisturizing and antioxidant substances, performing multiple functions.
