One great thing about working from home at the moment is getting ready requires quite a few less steps.
While it's OK to avoid brushing your hair and to lounge around in casual clothing, to skip sunscreen is not! if you’ve been forgoing that necessary skincare step while staying home, now is the time to reintroduce it back to your daily routine.
Why is sunscreen so important?
There are two types of damaging sun rays:
UVB (burning) rays: these are the rays that are responsible for producing sunburns
UVA (aging) rays : these rays are everywhere! They penetrate through windows when you are inside and through clouds when you are outside. They also sing deeper into the skin and play a greater role in premature skin aging. They can also cause skin cancer.
Do I need to wear sunscreen indoors?
Yes, yes yes! Standard windows filters out UVB but not UVA rays, where they penetrate right through the glass. So, sunscreen is important if you sit near a window, driving in a car or in a room with lots of sunlight.
