SPF IS YOUR BFF!
Even though UVB radiation decreases during the winter months, UVA radiation remains just as strong. UVA rays are responsible for premature aging and can contribute to the development of skin cancer. Just a few minutes of unprotected exposure can cause long-term damage, even in the winter.
Cloudy days won’t protect you either—up to 80% of UV rays can still penetrate through clouds and fog, reaching your skin. To shield yourself from these harmful rays, it's crucial to wear SPF daily, no matter the weather.
Boost Your Skin’s Defense from the Inside
In addition to wearing SPF, you can enhance your skin’s natural defense by incorporating antioxidant-rich foods into your diet. Citrus fruits, green tea, carrots, red peppers, spinach, and salmon are packed with nutrients that help protect your skin from within.
Make SPF Part of Your Daily Routine
Apply an SPF 30 or higher every single day, regardless of the season. Opt for a broad-spectrum SPF moisturizer to protect against both UVA and UVB rays, while also addressing winter dryness. Don’t forget your lips! Use a lip balm or treatment that contains SPF to keep them protected and hydrated.
Modern SPF formulas do more than block UV rays—they also protect against blue light emitted from phones and other devices, as well as environmental stressors that can harm your skin.
At Spa Matrix, we offer professional SPF products for all skin types, like Image Prevention+ Daily Ultimate Moisturizer SPF 50 for full face and neck protection, and Image Prevention+ Lip Enhancer SPF 15, a hydrating lip complex with broad-spectrum defense. Apply these products each morning to safeguard your skin and lips from damage, year-round!
