For Flawless skin: wear sunscreen even on cloudy days!

Yes, you need a broad-spectrum sunscreen that combat both UVB and UVA rays, everyday, rain or shine.

The sun emits three different kinds of rays, two of which reach the earth. We’ll begin with UVB rays, which you are no doubt familiar with, as these are the rays that cause painful and visible sunburns. UVB rays are the burning rays your mother always warned you about. They are strongest between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. during the summer months when sunlight hits the earth more directly.

UVA radiation, on the other hand, is omnipresent striking the earth and your skin from sunup to sundown, rain or shine, 365 days a year. The rays are equally as strong at 7:00 a.m. as they are at noon and at 5:00 p.m. They are so powerful they can penetrate clouds, rain, snow, glass, some plastics and clothing (especially loose cotton weaves and wet fabrics). UVA rays are long rays that penetrate deep into the dermis, causing tremendous damage over time. They have the ability to destroy our collagen and elastin, causing wrinkles and sagging. UVA rays also stimulate pigment-producing melanocytes to release brown melanin, resulting in “liver spots” on the face, hands and chest—a true hallmark of aged skin.
