We all know the saying: a puppy isn't just for Christmas; well, we think sunscreen needs as impactful slogan.
While sunscreen might traditionally make an appearance when the temperature rises in the UK, it's important to remember the sun doesn't only shine when we're on holiday, and UV exposure isn't something we should only think about when temperatures start to rise.
At Edit & Oak, we're big believers in making everyday routines a little better — and protecting your skin is one routine that's definitely worth keeping.
UVA and UVB — what's the difference?
You don't need to be a skincare expert to understand the basics.
UVB is the type of ultraviolet radiation most associated with sunburn. At the same time, UVA penetrates deeper into the skin and contributes to skin ageing, as well as playing a role in skin cancer. Both types can damage skin.
Daily sun protection is a non-negotiable health habit and your single most powerful anti-aging defence. Unprotected UV exposure not only increases skin cancer risks but also accounts for up to 90% of premature aging, hyperpigmentation, and collagen breakdown.
A grey British morning doesn't necessarily mean your skin is getting a day off from UV. Clouds can block some UV radiation, but more than 90% can still pass through clouds.
Make SPF part of your routine
Make it part of your morning routine. Put it next to the products you already use every day and make it part of your skincare routine. Think of it less as another chore and more as another little act of self-care.
Why we love Australian sunscreen
There are many reasons Australian sunscreen has such a strong reputation; they take sun protection seriously and have amazing formulas. The Australian testing standards mean they treat sunscreen like medicine, not makeup.
At Edit & Oak, we've chosen Australian sunscreen because we love the combination of effective sun protection and products that feel good enough to become part of your everyday routine. We have tinted moisturisers, bronzing drops, combo lip & blushers that not only enhance but, importantly, protect your skin. Beautiful formulas that are a pleasure to use. Why would you not add a product that has protection as well as
A little protection, every day
We're all guilty of remembering sunscreen when we're heading somewhere sunny and forgetting it when we're simply getting on with normal life.
But your skin doesn't know whether you're on a Mediterranean beach or sitting outside your favourite café in Altrincham.
UV exposure is UV exposure.
A puppy isn't just for Christmas.
And sunscreen isn't just for summer. ☀️
