It’s certainly no secret that using SPF is one of the most important factors when it comes to maintaining a youthful glow (in addition to protecting your skin from harmful UV damage, of course). And while there’s more to it than products alone, if you don’t use sunscreen, you won’t see results.
In fact, a groundbreaking study found that people who use broad-spectrum sunscreen on a daily basis experience 24% less skin ageing than those who use sunscreen only intermittently. The study, published in the influential Annals of Internal Medicine, followed more than 900 people over a four year period. It found that even participants who started daily sunscreen applications in their 40s and 50s showed reduced signs of skin ageing.
