Nothing ages the skin faster than the sun. Nothing.
Constant sun exposure can cause early signs of ageing, increase pigmentation and cause trauma to our skin cells leading to irreversible damage and even cancer.
Skin damage is caused by the ultraviolet (UV) rays that come from the sun and not the temperature of the sun.
Ideally, if we start forming healthy habits and protecting our skin from harmful UV rays early, we can prevent unnecessary long-term skin problems later in life.

Use sunscreen daily
Unfortunately, many people only think to use sunscreen on scorching hot days, or if they’re going to be outside all day. Let me share a secret…… the sun is working 365 days a year; it never takes a break. Applying sunscreen every morning should be part of your daily skincare routine.

Sun stats in Australia
Over 95 per cent of cancers in Australia are caused by UV radiation, and two in three Aussies will be diagnosed with skin cancer by the time we turn 70. Many of us already know we need SPF when we’re happily tanning on the beach or in our backyards but if you want to keep your skin looking radiant and healthy long term, you also need to wear sunscreen on a daily basis
