Keeping up with a healthy skincare routine is an important part of achieving a youthful look, especially as you grow older. With that in mind, if you are skimping on early morning skincare, it’s a good time to make a change.
Read on for the one morning routine you should change right now to protect your skin!
Skipping SPF
If your morning routine doesn't already include SPF, you need to add it now.
WebMD explains, "Spend too long in the sun, and you’re likely to end up with sun damage like wrinkles and age spots. The right protection can keep those blemishes at bay and guard against skin cancer."
Adding sunscreen to your skincare routine is super important to keep your skin healthy and protected. Plus, since so many signs of aging are due to sun exposure, this can also help keep your skin looking young.
It's not just important for a day at the beach, either.
Healthline explains, “Also, there is a misconception that the sun only affects your skin when it is warm and sunny outside. The truth is, even on a cold, cloudy day, only about 20 percent of the UV rays are blocked."
