Protect Your Skin From The Summer Sun & Indoors

Summer Sun is still out there, which means heat, higher UV levels, and more sun. That’s why it’s so important to protect your skin from the summer & Indoors.

Summertime is considered one of the happiest times of the year although your skin may not agree. It’s important during the summer to monitor just how much sun you’re taking in and how it will affect your skin.

Overexposure to the sun is one of the leading factors of pre-mature aging and blemishes.

However, protecting the skin indoors is also a big deal, and we’re going to find out

As an Advanced Medical-Grade Skincare brand, UFlawless cares about your skin and lifestyle. We want to ensure that you and your skin enjoy the sun safely. To help make sure this happens, we wanted to provide you with some helpful information about sun exposure and your skin. 

Why Are You Getting Spots During the Summer 

There are plenty of reasons why you could be breaking out throughout the year, but we can narrow it down during the summer months. It comes down to stress, sweat, and sultry air.

Also, another reason it rises is to remember that using sunscreen indoors is as important as using it outdoors. That might be the reason why you’re still getting spots during summer even though you’re using sunscreen!

Do You Need SPF Protection Indoors?

The sun may be out, but you are staying inside. This may raise the question of whether or not you need SPF protection indoors. It’s been a part of your skincare routine for some time now but do you still need to do it if you’re staying in? While it may not seem like you need to, wearing SPF protection indoors is more important than ever. 

Even though you’re inside and out of the sun, the sun’s rays can still affect your skin. UFlawless breaks down why wearing SPF protection inside is so important.

Why Wear SPF Protection Indoors?

Besides the UVA and UVB rays we just discussed, there is also something called HEV, which stands for high-energy visible light. HEV is emitted from the sun, which is why we recommend our medical-grade X3 Primer Moisturizing SPF Sunscreen. This sunscreen will protect you from light emitted from the sun as well as cellphones, computer screens, and electrical lights. 

Studies on HEV are still relatively new and evidence has suggested that HEV light can be as harmful as UV light which is another reason to wear medical-grade SPF protection inside.

What is UV Light?

There are two different types of UV light when talking about light and the skin. These are UVA and UVB rays.

UVB rays are the rays responsible for burning the upper layer of our skin which results in red, irritating sunburns. UVB rays are also responsible for skin cancer development and accelerated skin aging. 

UVA rays penetrate more deeply into our skin and are associated with premature aging, eye damage, and skin cancer. UVA is always present no matter the time of year or weather conditions. It can even penetrate through windows found in your home.

That is why SPF protection is so important. It’s easy to remember to apply it when going outdoors, but it’s not as easy when we decide to stay indoors.

Does Sunscreen Protect Against Blue Light?

Not all sunscreens protect against blue light. Blue light is emitted from phones, laptops, TVs, and other electronic devices. Luckily, the medical-grade X3 Primer Moisturizing SPF Sunscreen contains Zinc Oxide, a special ingredient that promotes protection against blue light. The British Journal of Dermatology found that sunscreens that contained zinc oxide offered higher protection against both UVA and blue light. 

Should You Reapply When Indoors?

If you’re looking for the best protection, it’s recommended that you re-apply with SPF protection every two hours. If you’re indoors, you don’t need to reapply nearly as often. Being inside most likely means you won’t be sweating the same way you would outdoors. Due to less sweat, the SPF protection will stay on your skin much longer.

Manage Your Stress and Age Less!

Having just one breakout is generally one of the reasons we have other breakouts. Once we experience one bad breakout, we will stress about the next time a breakout will occur, thus creating what seems like an endless cycle of breakouts. 

Stress of any kind can lead to a breakout. It’s important to realize this and understand that breakouts will come and go since it’s impossible to eliminate all the stress in life.

Don’t Break a Sweat, and protect your skin from the summer and Indoors

The summer season brings heat and heat brings sweat. While we all love the summer sun, sweating can combine with the different products we have on our faces. Once it enters our pores it results in a breakout. 

Sultry Air may dry out your skin

How do we escape the heat? Usually with air conditioning. Unfortunately, even the air conditioning can cause spots and breakouts to arise. Air conditioning can dry out our skin which results in our skin overproducing sebum to lubricate itself. This overproduction can lead to oil becoming trapped in our pores, resulting in a breakout. 

So how do we combat this? There are products made for the summer months that can support and help our skin. 

X3 Primer Moisturzing SPF

To help combat the hot summer months, we recommend the X3 Primer Moisturizing SPF from UFlawless. This incredible broad spectrum SPF40 facial sunscreen was designed to fight against spots that form during the summer months. This 99% purity, medical-grade sunscreen is loaded with different peptides to help rejuvenate youthful collagen and elastin that makes your skin firmer, while visibly reducing lines and wrinkles. 

This sunscreen works perfectly as a makeup primer and is made with sensitive skin in mind. Those with sensitive skin will love this product thanks to ingredients such as Galangal Root which helps lessen the appearance of acne and soothe the skin.

Other Helpful Summertime Skin Tips

Applying different skincare products will help fight the summer sun, but there are other things that can be done, such as:

Drink Water – Drinking water during the summertime is extremely important. The summer sun can dehydrate our skin so it’s important to drink as much water as you can. During the summer, it’s recommended to drink two and a half liters of water a day.

Skincare Routines – Being a skincare company, we of course have to recommend skincare routines. UFlawless offers the best products your skin could ask for. All of our products are based on natural ingredients and medical-grade strength. 

Proper Sun Exposure – Just because the sun can damage our skin, doesn’t mean we shouldn’t avoid the sun altogether. The sun gives our bodies vitamin D which helps strengthen bones and other parts of our bodies. 

Don’t Let Summer Ruin Your Skin & Protect Yourself Indoors

We all have to be more cautious with our skin during the summer months. The sun can lead to more damage as well as dry our skin out. With the proper skincare routines and precautions, you can enjoy the summer sun while looking your best. Check out our store page for incredible skincare products that won’t disappoint.
