As we recognize Skin Cancer Awareness Month, it’s a great time to reflect on one of the most important steps you can take in protecting your skin: wearing sunscreen. At Face It Botox Bar, we understand that skincare isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s also about health. That’s why we stress the importance of wearing sunscreen every single day, no matter the weather. Sun protection is one of the easiest and most effective ways to prevent the harmful effects of UV rays, including premature aging and skin cancer. Here’s why you should make sunscreen a part of your daily routine.
Why Sunscreen is Essential Every Day
Sun exposure is the leading cause of skin damage, including wrinkles, sunburns, and even skin cancer. Even if you’re not out in the sun for long periods, harmful UV rays can still penetrate through clouds and windows. Whether you’re driving, working, or spending time outdoors, applying sunscreen every day creates a barrier against the skin’s exposure to these dangerous rays.
Skin cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer, but it’s also one of the most preventable. By making sunscreen a daily habit, you dramatically reduce the risk of skin cancer, premature aging, and other skin concerns.
Sunscreen and Its Role in Treatment Results
In addition to the health benefits, sunscreen plays a critical role in enhancing and maintaining the results of various skin treatments. For example, after undergoing more invasive treatments like MOXI or HALO, your skin becomes more vulnerable to UV damage. These treatments work by targeting the deeper layers of the skin to stimulate collagen production, improve skin texture, and reduce pigmentation. However, without proper sun protection, the skin may experience irritation or hyperpigmentation, which can diminish the results of your treatment and potentially lead to new skin issues.
Wearing sunscreen every day after these treatments is essential for preserving the benefits of MOXI, HALO, or any other skin rejuvenation procedures. Sunscreen helps protect the treated areas from UV rays that could interfere with healing and compromise the rejuvenation effects, allowing you to enjoy your results longer between treatments. For optimal results, always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with zinc oxide, which offers the best protection against both UVA and UVB rays. (Keep reading to understand the importance of Zinc!)
Choosing the Best Sunscreen: Zinc is Key
When selecting sunscreen, it’s crucial to choose a broad-spectrum formula that blocks both UVA and UVB rays. At Face It Botox Bar, we recommend choosing a zinc-based sunscreen. Zinc oxide is a physical (mineral) sunscreen that offers broad-spectrum protection, unlike chemical sunscreens that may absorb into the skin and cause irritation. Zinc sits on top of the skin, deflecting UV rays, making it ideal for sensitive individuals.
Zinc sunscreens are also non-comedogenic, meaning they won’t clog pores, making them a great option for acne-prone skin. When choosing a sunscreen, always look for one with a high concentration of zinc oxide to ensure maximum protection.
Sunscreen Options at Face It Botox Bar
We understand that one-size-fits-all sunscreen doesn’t work, which is why we offer a variety of options tailored to different skin types and preferences. Our collection features leading skincare brands such as Elta MD, SkinCeuticals, Skin Better, and Alastin, all of which offer zinc oxide formulations.
Whether you prefer a tinted sunscreen for added coverage or a clear option that feels lightweight and comfortable, we have something for you. And don’t worry — if you have acne-prone or oily skin, don’t worry—we carry sunscreens specifically designed for these skin types that won’t clog pores or contribute to excess oil.
