When we think about sunscreen, we often associate it with hot summer days at the beach or long afternoons spent outdoors. But the truth is, sun protection is a year-round essential—not just a summertime step.
Why Sunscreen Matters Every Day
The sun emits two types of ultraviolet rays that affect our skin differently:
-
UVA rays – These penetrate deep into the skin, accelerating aging and contributing to fine lines, wrinkles, and pigmentation. Unlike UVB rays, they’re not blocked by clouds or windows, which means they’re present every single day—even when the sky looks grey or you’re working indoors by a sunny window.
-
UVB rays – These are the rays responsible for sunburns and play the biggest role in skin cancer. While UVB intensity varies by season and time of day, they’re still a concern outside of summer.
Together, UVA and UVB rays cause long-term skin damage, premature aging, and increase the risk of skin cancer. The only way to safeguard your skin is consistent daily protection.
How to Make SPF Part of Your Ritual
Just like cleansing, hydrating, and nourishing your skin, sunscreen should be a non-negotiable step in your daily routine. Here’s how to make it effortless:
-
Apply every morning. Think of SPF as your skin’s final layer of protection—after moisturizer, before makeup.
-
Reapply every 2 hours when outdoors, and more often if you’re swimming or sweating.
-
Choose a mineral sunscreen. We love mineral formulas because they sit on top of the skin and create a physical barrier against the sun, while being gentle and safe for sensitive skin.
At ORESTA, we believe skincare should be simple, effective, and mindful. Making sunscreen part of your everyday ritual isn’t about adding another step—it’s about protecting the investment you make in your skin and ensuring it looks and feels healthy for years to come.
✨ Healthy skin starts with consistent protection. Don’t skip the step that matters most.
