Sunscreen 101: Why You Always Need SPF (Yes, Even Indoors)

We get it — sunscreen can feel like a hassle sometimes, especially if you’re not spending your day outside. But here’s a skin truth: UV rays don’t take a day off, and neither should your SPF.

At skins., Claudia reminds clients that UVA and UVB rays can penetrate windows and cloud cover, damaging your skin even indoors or during your commute. That’s why sunscreen is an every day, every season essential.

Why SPF matters year-round:

• Protects against premature aging like wrinkles and dark spots

• Reduces risk of skin cancer (yes, it’s serious!)

• Keeps your complexion even and bright

• Helps your other skincare products work better by shielding skin from damage

Choosing the right SPF:
Not all sunscreens are created equal. Claudia recommends:

• Broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher

• Lightweight formulas that won’t clog pores

• Mineral or chemical options based on your skin sensitivity

• Products that feel good under makeup or alone

Bonus tips:

• Don’t forget to reapply every two hours if you’re outside

• Use a moisturizer or foundation with SPF for added protection indoors

• Wear hats and sunglasses for extra defense
