Many people believe sunscreen is only necessary during summer or while visiting the beach. In reality, ultraviolet (UV) rays affect your skin throughout the year, even on cloudy days. Daily sun protection is one of the simplest and most effective ways to prevent premature ageing, pigmentation, and sun damage. A broad-spectrum sunscreen helps protect against both UVA and UVB rays. It should be applied every morning as the final step in your skincare routine and reapplied if you\'re outdoors for extended periods. Sunscreen also supports the effectiveness of treatments for acne marks, melasma, and skin brightening by preventing further pigmentation. Along with sunscreen, wearing sunglasses, protective clothing, and avoiding direct sun exposure during peak afternoon hours further reduces skin damage. Making sunscreen a daily habit is one of the easiest ways to maintain healthier, younger-looking skin for years to come.
