SPF is a skincare staple to prevent sunburn and long-term skin damage from UV rays, like skin cancer. It should be worn every day of the year, rain or shine, as those UV rays can make their way through cloud cover, windows and fabric. As it is summer, chances are you’re wearing more SPF than usual. 

While the weather at home is leaving a lot to be desired, those jetting off to sunnier climes will be reapplying their sun protection a lot more often as sweating and swimming are just two examples of why it may not be as long-lasting as usual on your skin.
