Protect your skin: Why sun protection is important all year round

Many people associate sun protection with beach vacations and hot summer days. But the truth is: UV rays are active year-round – even on cloudy days or through windows. If you want to keep your skin young and healthy in the long term, you should make sun protection a regular part of your daily routine.

Why UV protection is more than just “no sunburn”

Sunscreen not only protects against acute burns, but also against long-term damage:

• premature skin aging & wrinkles,
• Pigment spots & uneven complexion,
• increased risk of skin cancer.

UVA rays even penetrate glass – that's why your skin needs protection in the office, in the car, or on gray autumn days.

Tips for daily sun protection

• Every morning SPF : Apply sunscreen as the last step after skincare.
• Choose combination products : BB creams or day creams with SPF make your routine easier.
• Refresh regularly : If you are outside for a long time, reapply every 2 hours.
• Use enough product : About a two-finger amount for face and neck.
