With winter well and truly underway, many of us may be tempted to stow our favourite SPFs under the bathroom sink.
But as any dermatologist would advise, protecting your skin against harmful UV rays is a year-round commitment.
According to experts, incidental sun exposure (the kind experienced daily, such as on a commute) has a cumulative effect that can result in sagging skin. This means a thick layer of broad-spectrum SPF may be just as important for those who work in an office as it is for those who spend their days outdoors.
