Spring is a great time of the year: the vibe is bustling, the days are longer and you don’t need to lug extra layers as soon as you step foot outside. But while the extra sunshine brings up the mood tenfold, it also means stronger UV rays, which aren’t exactly the best thing when it comes to your skin.
UV light is, pretty much, the biggest environmental factor that leads to premature ageing – it can weaken the collagen in skin and affect the very foundation of your skin, which in effect can lead to dark spots by increasing production of pigment, more visible pores, as well as redness and broken capillaries by causing blood vessels to grow.
And sure, while chucking on some sunscreen at the beach is a great start, investing in a good skincare routine can help prevent premature ageing caused by sun exposure, all hours of the day.
Because after all, there’s only one outfit you wear every day. No, not your pyjamas… we’re talking about your skin.
