You may be tired of hearing about the importance of wearing sunscreen every day but we\u2019ll say it louder for the people in the back: don\u2019t forget your SPF! Wearing a sunscreen or moisturiser with SPF is probably the most underrated yet most important part of your daily skincare routine. With spring coming up, we\u2019re sure you\u2019re starting to think about those summer days you\u2019ll spend on the beach. But don\u2019t underestimate the power of the sun\u2019s rays, even on the more cloudy days in spring. In this blog, we\u2019ll run you through everything you need to know about SPF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why should you wear SPF every day?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A question we definitely get asked frequently is \u2018why do I have to wear SPF every day\u2019? After all, depending on where you live, it may not be sunny every single day (sadly). The truth is that UV rays can damage your skin at any time, whether you\u2019re laying on the beach in the middle of summer or if you\u2019re going for a walk on a cold, winter day. Whilst you may not feel the sun burning on your skin throughout the colder months, the UV rays still find a way to penetrate your skin and damage it. To ensure you limit skin damage caused by the sun, we recommend wearing a sunscreen or moisturiser with SPF 30 daily. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Risks of not wearing SPF daily<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So, we\u2019ve looked at the importance of wearing an SPF daily but what are the actual risks if you don\u2019t do this? And let us tell you, these risks are quite extensive and can impact your life tremendously if you\u2019re very uncareful. Being exposed to UV rays can cause hyperpigmentation, sun spots and dark spots on your skin. This is a visual result of sun damage that is difficult to treat and literally leaves a mark on your skin. Luckily, nowadays, we can limit the appearance of hyperpigmentation by using skincare products such as our Obagi Nu-Derm Fx\u00ae System<\/a>, which helps to clarify the skin and can help to improve skin with sun spots. Further down the line, regular exposure to UV rays without wearing sunscreen can cause skin cancer. Wearing SPF 30 on a daily basis can reduce your risk of developing skin cancer. An easy step to add to your skin routine, that can save you a lot of worries and sickness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lastly, you\u2019re probably wondering what SPF products will work best for you. Some sunscreen may not be great to wear on a daily basis, as they\u2019re too greasy or make your makeup look gross. That\u2019s why the Obagi Sun Shield Matte\u2122 Broad Spectrum SPF 50<\/a> is so ideal for everyday use – it\u2019s a matte sunscreen that prevents oiliness and doesn\u2019t leave a layer on your skin. But it does protect your skin from UV damage! That\u2019s a double win, if you ask us. This sunscreen is particularly great for summer as it has Sun Protection Factor 50 which blocks 98% of UVB rays. The sunscreen is also available in two other options: in a cool and warm tint. The Obagi Sun Shield\u2122 Tint Broad Spectrum SPF 50 Warm<\/a> sunscreen is designed to match skin with golden or olive undertones, whilst the Obagi Sun Shield\u2122 Tint Broad Spectrum SPF 50 Cool<\/a> is perfect for pink or beige undertones. The sun shield tints actually have a higher protection, as they protect your skin from infrared rays, HEV and blue light!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The OBAGI360 Hydrafactor\u00ae SPF30 <\/a>is perfect for those who prefer a quick and easy skincare routine and want the benefits of two products in one: hydration and protection.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
