👩🏾‍⚕️Your Retinol and Vitamin C are more effective if you wear a sunscreen with high UVA protection daily! 🙋🏾‍♀️I am often asked what is the best product to slow down the visible signs of aging. The answer is always the same. A sunscreen with high UVA protection! ☀️UVA rays from the sun are the #1 cause of collagen breakdown, fine lines, wrinkles and hyperpigmentation. UVA rays are always a threat even on cloudy days & they penetrate through windows. 💡UVA= Aging + Hyperpigmentation 🔥UVB= Burns 🌈HEVL= pro-pigmentating wavelengths (dark spots) Unfortunately It’s not always so clear the level of UVA protection you are getting in a sunscreen. Especially here in the US where brands are only required to provide broad-spectrum coverage. 🔍Look for the words high UVA protection in the description. Some sunscreens like @supergoop & @colorescience list the PA+ rating scale which provides some insight on the level of UVA protection. The highest rating is PA++++ Other countries have a UVA ⭐️system or ⭕️ with more modern technologies, better filters and much more UVA protection. Really hoping the US catches up🥴. I’ve highlighted some incredible finds with high UVA protection in my upcoming YT video. Featuring @larocheposayusa @altruistsun @biodermausa @mesoestetic +. #antiaging #hyperpigmentation #sunscreen
