Hello Interloper!

Pigmentation and sun damage are real, and the older we get, unfortunately, the more visible it becomes. UV changes the pigment in your skin, and it can penetrate through glass. So, if you are in the car, in the conservatory, next to a window in winter, spring, summer or autumn, you should wear sunscreen. For your face, a 30 SPF in the cooler months and a 50 SPF in the summer months, with regular applications and not just once a day.
*ALARM* 80% of ageing is a direct result of exposure to ultraviolet light (UV)
The more time you spend in the sun, without SPF, plus a sun hat and some shade, it will result in your skin ageing faster than others who have been and are being more careful. If you are reading this in your 20s or even in your teenage years, make yourself a little deal… always cleanse off your make-up after a night out (not with a face wipe) and wear an SPF religiously… even if that’s the only thing you do!
