Do I need an SPF in the winter?
- 1 min reading time
When we talk about SPF, we usually associate it with summer. In summer, we protect our skin well against sun rays. But shouldn't we do that in winter too? The sun shines then too. The answer to this question is: YES!
Why do I need SPF in winter too?
SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor and protects your skin from harmful UV rays. Is this also necessary in winter? Yes, because the sun also shines in winter.
The height of the factor multiplies the time in which you would burn without sunscreen. In the winter you therefore do not need such a high factor than in the summer. The sun's power is much lower in the winter, but still present and that is why it is important to protect your skin with SPF all year round.
Good protection prevents skin aging
UV light damages the elastin and connective tissue fibers of the skin. When you sit unprotected in the sun, the chance of skin aging and the development of pigment spots increases. And of course we want to prevent that and postpone it as long as possible! Let us emphasize it again ;-)... therefore use a good SPF all year round.
SPF in your skincare and make-up routine
To ensure yourself of good protection, add an SPF to your standard skincare routine! This can also be done in combination with your make-up. If you use a day cream, first apply your day cream, then the SPF and then you can just do your make-up. But nowadays you also have super nice day creams and foundations that already contain SPF. In the winter, factor 15 is sufficient. This way you can enjoy the caring properties of your day cream and your skin is protected against skin aging and pigment spots caused by UV rays.
