It may be sprintime but it's still quite cold and during the colder months, we are exposed to cloud cover and wind burn (that's even when the sun is shining!). The result is that your skin is vulnerable if SPF isn’t applied. P20 sunscreen protects against both UVA and UVB rays and retains its effectiveness for up to 10 hours. UVB is responsible for causing most sunburns, while UVA is the dominant tanning ray. UVA, however, damages the structure of the skin and penetrates deeper into the skin compared to UVB rays. Both UVA and UVB radiation increase risk of skin cancer. To prevent damages to the skin, and thus preventing signs of aging from sun damage, it is advisable to choose a sunscreen with a high level of protection from UVA.
UVA rays speed up the aging process of the skin, causing premature ageing of the skin, wrinkles and age spots. It is impossible to avoid ageing of the skin but it is possible to prevent the signs of aging caused by sun rays. You do that by using a quality sunscreen, like P20 and by being careful in the sun.
So even when the sun isn’t visible, UV rays can still cause premature ageing and damage your skin. Try applying a thin layer of P20 every morning - your skin will thank you for it later.
