Suncare is a crucial part of good skincare. The sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays can damage our skin cell’s DNA which is a big cause of aging skin (fine lines, wrinkles), dark spots and at worse skin cancer. If a product contains the UV protection badge, it means it offers protection from UV rays.

Aging skin is a complicated topic and we always say that prevention is the best cure. Using sunscreen is the best way to slow down your skin’s natural aging process to prevent your skin’s DNA from being damaged by UV rays.

That being said, signs of aging skin are inevitable and there are ingredients that have been proven to help with reducing signs of fine lines, wrinkles, sagginess, loss of firmness & etc. You may find that a lot of the anti-aging ingredients are anti-oxidants, this is because they can help fight off the free radicals (molecules that cause damage to our skin’s DNA and cause aging).

If you’re looking to reduce the signs of aging, keep your eye out for products with the Anti-Aging badge.
