✨ The Daily Habit Your Skin Will Thank You For

Why You Need Sunscreen — Even Indoors or on Cloudy Days

We get it — sunscreen may not feel like a priority when you're working indoors or the sun’s hidden behind the clouds. But at PHI Aesthetics, we can’t stress this enough: daily SPF is one of the most powerful tools you have to protect your skin and slow down the aging process.

☁️ "It's Cloudy Today" Doesn’t Cut It

Even on overcast days, up to 80% of UV rays still reach your skin. And if you're near a window, in your car, or working next to natural light? UVA rays can penetrate glass, silently damaging your skin over time.

These UVA rays are the aging rays — they cause fine lines, wrinkles, and breakdown of collagen. They don’t burn your skin, but they absolutely age it.

💄 Foundation with SPF Isn’t Enough

If you're relying on your foundation or tinted moisturizer for sun protection, you're likely getting a false sense of security.
Here’s why:

  • Most people don’t apply enough product to get full SPF protection.

  • Makeup SPF usually doesn’t offer full broad-spectrum coverage.

  • You’d have to apply multiple layers to even approach SPF 30.

SPF in makeup should be considered a bonus — not your base layer of protection.

🌞 What SPF Really Does for You

A broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher helps defend your skin against:

UVB Rays – cause sunburn and contribute to skin cancer
UVA Rays – cause premature aging and skin damage
Hyperpigmentation – especially for those prone to melasma or sunspots
Breakdown of collagen and elasticity – hello, wrinkles and sagging

Consistent sunscreen use slows visible aging and keeps your skin looking smooth, firm, and radiant.

🧴 Our Pro Tip: Apply SPF Every Morning

Before your makeup — after cleansing and moisturizing — apply a generous amount of sunscreen to your face, neck, and even the backs of your hands. Let it absorb for a few minutes before going in with foundation.
