If you want to keep your skin happy, healthy and unscathed by the sun’s rays, you should be wearing SPF. Every. Single. Day.

The skin is exposed to UV rays every single day – even when it’s grey and cloudy, and sunshine seems like a distant memory. UVA can even penetrate through glass. That’s why applying a lightweight sunscreen every morning will help to give your skin the protection it needs.

If you’re seeking SPF beauty products in Dubai, UAE, it’s essential to choose sunscreens that offer broad-spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays, are suitable for the region’s climate, and cater to your specific skin type

Sunscreen 101: Here’s the best way to apply it.

Be generous

Don’t skimp! Most people only apply about half the recommended amount of sunscreen. Aim for a good, even layer on all exposed skin, including your ears, neck, and the tops of your feet.

Don’t forget the hidden spots

We’re talking your lips (get a lip balm with SPF!), your eyelids (be gentle!), and even the tops of your hands.

Reapplication is your friend

Sunscreen breaks down over time, especially with sweat and swimming. Reapply every two hours, and more often if you’re sweating or in the water.

While, sunscreen isn’t the most exciting part of summer. But it’s the difference between enjoying those long days outside and ending up with a face that looks like a map. So, embrace the SPF 50, apply it religiously, and get out there. Your future skin will thank you.

So, if you’re looking to add to your vanity closet, here are the best options to skip the scrolling.
