Everyday SPF: Why Sun Protection is the Foundation of Skincare is a topic that should be considered in the context of one's entire skin, daily habits, and individual tolerance. Below, Justyna Broda, a cosmetologist and trichologist, organizes the most important information and shows where to start with conscious action.

SPF describes the level of protection against UVB radiation, but daily photoprotection should also include protection against UVA. In practice, not only the number on the packaging matters, but also the appropriate amount of product, even application, and reapplication of protection.
It is safest to introduce changes one by one and observe your skin for a sufficiently long time. This makes it easier to assess tolerance and not confuse a temporary reaction with a lasting effect.
Why Protection Matters Even Beyond Summer

Key Takeaways
Effective care or therapy does not have to be extensive. It should be purposeful, consistently applicable, and tailored to current needs. If in doubt, a consultation is the starting point, not another random product.
