The benefits of sunscreen in the beauty routine Why it is so important to protect our skin, and not only during the summer months or at the beach

Using sunscreen as the last step of our skincare routine is a good habit that every person should have. If using sunscreen is important throughout the year, it is certainly essential and inevitable in spring and summer, and not only when taking a tan on the beach, but also in the city!

Our face is constantly exposed to the sun's rays, the main causes of diseases and aging of the skin. But let's go into more detail. The SPF, sun protection factor, protects the skin from UV, UVA and UVB rays. 
UV are ultraviolet rays, they are capable of distorting the DNA of skin cells and are carcinogenic. 
UVA rays are able to penetrate the dermis, the deepest layer of the skin, causing aging (and therefore wrinkles) and sun allergies. The last, but not least, are the UVBs. These are responsible for tanning, but also for sunburn and sunburn.

2 products your skin can’t live without, go

A post shared by FACEGYM (@facegym) on

Sunscreen must be applied at least 15 minutes before sun exposure and is effective for about two hours. For this reason it is necessary to apply the cream several times a day to guarantee a continuous protective screen. It is also important for acne prone skin to be protected, to prevent scars from darkening and becoming spots.

Forget about white cream mash that our mother applied to us as children, the perfect sunscreen for your needs exists, you just need to know how to choose it! On the market you can find creams or serums with more or less rich formulas based on your skin type and the feeling we want on our face, more full or gelly and imperceptible.

In addition to the protective creams, there are also multitasking products, such as moisturizers and bb creams with a protection factor inside. It is also important to protect our lips with ad hoc products, such as lipsticks with spf. The advice by nss G-Club is to choose creams with a protection factor of 30 or higher, to ensure a proper skin shield and to generously apply protection on the face, neck, décolleté and hands.

Here are our favorite SPF products to ensure effective sun protection, suitable for all skin types. Are you still undecided whether to use it or not? Enjoy the sun (and be safe!)
