Sun protection isn’t just for summer — it’s for every single day. UVA rays (the “aging rays”) penetrate deep into the skin, breaking down collagen and causing fine lines, wrinkles, and pigmentation. They even pass through windows, meaning your skin is exposed while driving or sitting near natural light. UVB rays (the “burning rays”) cause sunburns and contribute to skin cancer, while blue light and low-level UV from lamps, computer screens, and TVs can also lead to premature aging and skin stress. So even if you’re indoors or it’s cloudy, your skin still needs daily protection.
At Ageless in the Triad Med Spa, we carry both physical and chemical SPFs to suit every skin type. For mineral protection, the Avène Mineral Sunscreen Face & Body SPF 50+ and Avène SPF 50 Stick are gentle, hydrating, and perfect for sensitive skin. For a smooth, tinted finish, Obagi Sun Shield Warm Tint SPF 50 and Cool Tint SPF 50 provide elegant coverage with broad-spectrum defense. And don’t forget — winter UV rays can still cause damage, especially with reflection from snow or cloudy skies. Choosing SPF 50 or higher year-round keeps your skin healthy, youthful, and glowing in every season.
