Episode 17: The Number One Thing Missing in your Selfcare Routine!
An SPF a day keeps the wrinkles away!
Should you be wearing sunscreen everyday? The answer is absolutely YES! You may not realize it, but sun damage adds up over the years. Even if you don’t spend a lot of active time outside, you are constantly exposed to UV radiation — on cloudy, snowy days and through windows. You read it right. Sunscreen is not only essential during summertime but it should be part of your daily routine. The UV rays can penetrate through your windows. This exposure accumulates and can increase your risk of skin cancer, premature skin aging, and damage over time.
Am I trying to scare you? Of course not! This is a fact. You can read through this article - “Trucker accumulates skin damage on left side of his face after 28 years on the road”, to better understand how prolonged exposure to the sun without any protection can severely damage your skin & increase your risk of skin cancer.
With this in mind, I decided to talk about sunscreens in this week’s podcast episode, considering how active our lifestyle is here in the Kootenays. We love to spend most of our time outdoors. I thought it would be timely and really helpful to have a clearer picture of how the sun harms our skin and why sunscreens are important. Not only that, I will help you choose the best type of sunscreen that’ll suit your lifestyle and skin type!
