Is Sunscreen Necessary for Indoors?

Is Sunscreen Necessary for Indoors? 
UV Rays Penetrate Windows: UVA rays, which cause aging, can pass through glass and still affect your skin. If you're near windows, you’re exposed to these harmful rays.
Blue Light Exposure: Screen time (phones, computers, etc.) exposes your skin to blue light, which can contribute to pigmentation and premature aging.

Benefits of Wearing Sunscreen Indoors
- Prevents Sunburn: Even when indoors, UV rays through windows or from outdoor exposure can cause sunburn. Applying sunscreen helps protect your skin from this painful damage.
- Prevents Premature Aging: Sunscreen protects against wrinkles and dark spots caused by UV exposure, even indoors.
- Reduces Skin Cancer Risk: Daily sunscreen use helps prevent skin cancer by protecting you from harmful UV radiation.
- Protects Hyperpigmented Skin: Sunscreen prevents dark spots from worsening, especially for those with melasma or other pigmentation issues.

How to Protect Your Skin
Use Broad-Spectrum Sunscreen: Choose an SPF50 or higher with protection against both UVA and UVB rays.
Apply Daily: Make sunscreen a daily habit, even when you’re inside.
Choose Sunscreens with Extra Benefits: Fernblock® is a natural plant extract derived from the Polypodium leucotomos fern. It has powerful antioxidant properties, helping to protect your skin from UV damage and reduce the effects of sun-induced aging. This ingredient boosts the skin’s natural defenses, reduces inflammation, and helps repair DNA damage caused by UV exposure, making it an ideal addition to your sunscreen.

Sunscreen isn't just for outdoor, it's essential indoors too. Protect your skin from UV and blue light exposure by incorporating sunscreen into your daily routine for healthier, younger-looking skin.
