Summer is coming to an end, and this is usually when I notice a lot of people start putting their sunscreen away.
Please don't.
SPF is something I recommend wearing all year round; yes, even during a Canadian winter.
When we talk about preventing premature signs of aging, sunscreen is one of the most important products you can have in your skincare routine. You can invest in serums, retinol and corrective treatments, but protecting your skin from UV exposure still needs to be part of your daily routine.
And the good news is that sunscreen does not have to feel like sunscreen.
How Do You Choose the Right SPF?
The best sunscreen is the one that you actually enjoy wearing consistently.
Think about what you like:
- Do you prefer a lightweight texture?
- Is your skin oily or dry?
- Do you have sensitive skin?
- Do you prefer mineral sunscreen?
- Do you want something tinted?
- Do you have darker skin and want to avoid that grey or ashy residue that some sunscreens can leave behind?
These things matter because if you hate how your sunscreen feels on your skin, chances are you are not going to want to wear it every day.
The sunscreens that I have selected for Homéostaze are options that work beautifully on the skin and do not leave that grey residue, which is especially important for darker skin tones.
There are options for sensitive skin, dry skin and even a tinted option, so you can choose according to what feels best for you. Browse all SPF options.
My Personal Favourite: Circadia Light Day SPF
If you don't know where to start, Light Day SPF is my personal all-time favourite.
I recommend it to clients all the time, and it has become a favourite for many of them too.
Why?
It doesn't smell like sunscreen. It doesn't leave a grey residue. It absorbs nicely into the skin. And most importantly, it doesn't feel like you are walking around with a heavy layer of sunscreen on your face.
For me, those things make a huge difference when you're talking about a product that you should be wearing every single day.
You May Not Even Need a Separate Moisturizer
Another reason I like the sunscreens available at Homéostaze is that many of them can also provide your daytime moisture.
That means your morning routine doesn't necessarily need to be complicated.
You could simply apply your serum and follow with your SPF.
That's it.
Don't Stop Wearing SPF When Summer Ends
Sunscreen is not just something you wear at the beach or during July and August.
Make it part of your skincare routine all year round. Summer, fall, winter and spring.
And if you're new to wearing SPF every day, start by finding one that feels good on your skin. Because the sunscreen that you enjoy wearing is the one you're much more likely to actually use.
