When it comes to skincare, one product reigns supreme in protecting your skin from damage and maintaining a healthy, radiant complexion: SPF . Often overlooked or underestimated, sunscreen is a daily essential—not just for sunny days, but all year round.

The Hidden Dangers of UV Rays

UV rays are more than just a beach-day nuisance. They are one of the leading causes of:

  • Premature Ageing : UV exposure accelerates the breakdown of collagen and elastin, leading to wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin.
  • Dark Spots + Uneven Skin Tone : Known as hyperpigmentation, sun damage can leave your skin looking dull and patchy.
  • Skin Cancer : The most serious consequence of unprotected UV exposure, skin cancer is a risk that can be significantly reduced with proper sun protection.

Why SPF is Non-Negotiable

Sunscreen isn’t just an extra step in your routine—it’s your first line of defence . By forming a protective barrier on your skin, SPF prevents UV rays from penetrating and causing long-term damage. Whether you're indoors by a sunny window, out for a walk, or spending the day at the beach, SPF is essential.

Dermalogica’s SPF Solutions

Dermalogica offers a range of broad-spectrum sunscreens tailored to your skin type and lifestyle:

  • Dynamic Skin Recovery SPF50 : A daily moisturiser with high sun protection and anti-ageing benefits.
  • Invisible Physical Defence SPF30 : Lightweight and sheer, ideal for sensitive skin.
  • Prisma Protect SPF30 : A multitasking SPF that also boosts skin luminosity.

How to Incorporate SPF into Your Routine

  1. Cleanse : Start with a clean base for even application.
  2. Moisturise : Apply your moisturiser if your SPF isn’t combined with one.
  3. SPF : Generously apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen as the final step in your morning routine.
  4. Reapply : Every two hours when outdoors, or after swimming or sweating.

Glowing Skin Starts with Protection

SPF is more than a skincare product—it’s a daily commitment to your skin’s health and longevity. By protecting your skin from UV damage, you can enjoy a radiant, even complexion for years to come.
