Sunscreen: the most effective anti-aging step
Why daily sunscreen does more for wrinkles and dark spots than any cream, and how to choose and apply it under the Moroccan sun.
By ICOLAN 2 min read
Creams and serums can do a lot, but dermatologists agree on one thing: daily sunscreen is the most effective way to prevent premature wrinkles and dark spots. In Morocco, where the sun is strong most of the year, it is essential.
How the sun ages the skin
UV rays damage the fibres that keep skin firm and elastic. Over the years, this leads to wrinkles, sagging and uneven pigmentation, often more than age itself.
How to choose a face sunscreen
- Broad spectrum protection against UVA and UVB.
- SPF 30 or higher for daily use.
- A texture you enjoy, so you actually wear it every day.
How to apply it
- Use it every morning as the last step of your routine.
- Apply enough to cover the face and neck, about two finger lengths.
- Reapply every two hours when you are outside.
Sunscreen is even more important if you use retinol or vitamin C. See our retinol guide and our article on vitamin C for the face.
