What are the risks of not using SPF?Updated a year ago

Not using SPF increases the risk of:

• Sunburn: Painful and damaging to your skin, sunburns can cause redness, swelling, and blistering.

• Premature ageing: Wrinkles, fine lines, and loss of elasticity are accelerated by UV exposure.

• Skin cancer: Including melanoma, the most serious type, UV radiation is a significant risk factor for all types of skin cancer.

• Hyperpigmentation: Dark spots and uneven skin tone are often exacerbated by sun exposure.

• Sensitivity: Increased redness and irritation can result from UV damage, especially for those with sensitive skin conditions like rosacea.

Consistently using SPF helps protect your skin from these adverse effects and maintains your skin’s health and appearance.
