As part of Sun Awareness Week, we’re highlighting the single most underrated hero in your skincare routine: SPF. It’s not just for summer holidays or heat waves—it’s a daily essential, 365 days a year.
Yes, You Still Need SPF When It’s Cloudy
We’ve all been there—applying sunscreen religiously on holiday, then forgetting it the moment the UK skies turn grey. But here’s the truth: up to 80% of UV rays penetrate clouds, and UVA rays (the ones responsible for skin ageing) are present all year round. They even pass through glass—yes, even when you’re inside or driving.
UVA vs UVB: What Are We Really Protecting Against?
- UVB rays are what cause sunburn. They’re strongest on sunny days and are the reason your skin goes red or peels.
- UVA rays, however, are more subtle—and more dangerous. These rays penetrate deeper into the skin and are a major cause of premature ageing, pigmentation, and long-term damage.
What Happens Without SPF?
Your skin contains melanin, a natural pigment that provides some protection. But even this has its limits. Overexposure to UV rays overwhelms your skin’s natural defences, leading to:
– Hyperpigmentation
– Fine lines and wrinkles
– Loss of elasticity
– Increased risk of skin cancer
SPF is your first line of defence. Prevention, always, is better than cure.
