sunscreen-is-for-everyone

Key Takeaways

  • Sunscreen is for everyone, every single day. Dr. Laura Scott recommends it daily no matter the skin concern because UV radiation contributes to premature aging, dark spots, and increased risk of skin cancer, and that damage adds up over time.
  • Sunscreen is not just for beach days. UV rays penetrate through clouds and reflect off snow, so everyday exposure like driving to work or walking the dog still affects your skin.
  • All skin tones need SPF 30 or higher. While melanin provides some natural protection, it only offers about SPF 3–8. Daily sunscreen also helps prevent and manage dark spots and uneven skin tone.
  • Choose a broad spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30, apply it after cleansing in the morning, and reapply throughout the day. Finding one you love makes it easier to stick with the habit.
