SPF Myths — What You Should Stop Believing for Healthier Skin
Share
Sunscreen is the most important step in any skincare routine — but there are so many myths that confuse people.
Let’s clear them up so you can protect your skin the right way ✨👇
❌ Myth 1: “I don’t need sunscreen on cloudy days.”
UV rays pass through clouds and windows.
SPF is a daily must — rain, shine, or even indoors ☁️
❌ Myth 2: “Dark skin doesn’t need sunscreen.”
All skin tones can suffer from sun damage, dark spots & aging.
Melanin ≠ UV protection ✅
❌ Myth 3: “SPF in makeup is enough.”
SPF makeup doesn’t apply in thick enough layers for real protection.
Always wear sunscreen first, makeup second.
❌ Myth 4: “Higher SPF means I can stay in the sun longer.”
SPF is not a time limit ⏱️
Reapply every 2 hours, especially outdoors.
❌ Myth 5: “You only need sunscreen in summer.”
UV damage happens 365 days a year — including winter ❄️
