4 Reasons Why SPF is Your BFF!
A day at the lake is a whirlwind, and it’s hard to remember things like drinking enough water, keeping an eye on your wandering child, and everything in between. Parents slather their children with SPF every sunny day but often neglect the stuff for their skin. And, let’s admit, our skin isn’t what it used to be. Stress, lack of sleep, nutrition, smoking, pollution, personal hydration, skincare routine (or lack thereof), and other environmental details may have taken their toll. If we don’t counteract these, they can cause extreme damage to the cells and membranes in our skin, resulting in skin disease and accelerated aging. At Revive, your skin’s health is our main priority. We’re here to tell you just how vital applying SPF is EVERY. SINGLE. DAY!
#1. Prevents Skin Cancer
Let’s cover the Big One first. Applying SPF to your skin every day will dramatically decrease your risk of developing skin cancer. It’s easy to live by the thinking of “that won’t happen to me.” but its far more common than you may think. 1 in 5 Americans will develop skin cancer by the age of 70, and having more than five sunburns doubles your risk of developing Melanoma.
#2. Keeps Your Skin Looking Young!
UV damage and exposure is the number one cause for premature skin aging. Sun damage can occur even when you don’t see the physical signs. A sunburn is an immediate reaction of sun damage, and overexposure, long-lasting sun damage will accumulate over your lifetime.#3.
#3. Prevents Hyperpigmentation
Repeated and prolonged exposure in the sun can cause hyperpigmentation and redness from dilated blood vessels. Hyperpigmentation can also appear when parts of the face look dull compared to others, and the skin tone becomes uneven.
#4. Improves Overall Skin Health
Advanced SPF formulas have active ingredients that help protect skin from other environmental stressors
Thankfully, it is more convenient than ever to protect your skin, as SPF comes in all shapes and sizes, so there is no excuse not to use it!
ProTip – try a tinted moisturizer that doubles as coverage and sun protection to ensure you are safe before facing the day.
