Benefits of Max Block SPF 60:

Hopefully, you've heard how crucial sunscreen is for the general health & appearance of your skin. Wearing sunscreen every day is a critical component of your skincare routine, as well as without it, you're subjecting the sensitive skin on your face to avoidable sun damage. We checked in with our very own Michelle Freese who has been with Kate Somerville Skin Experts for 8 years as an esthetician in our QHC Clinic to get her take on the top five benefits of sunscreen use:

Keeps Complexion Even

Using sunscreen on your face helps to keep your complexion even. Sun damage is one of the many causes of uneven skin tones and daily sun cream helps to prevent those effects.

Sun Protection

One of the most obvious and notable benefits of sunscreen is that it protects your skin against the sun's broad spectrum of harmful UV rays. Sunscreen minimizes the penetration of UV rays into the skin and the triggering of a variety of skin disorders. Even the mildest of sunburns can have damaging effects so it is important to protect your skin.

Helps Protect Against The Visible Signs of Premature Aging

We all want youthful, radiant, and healthy-looking skin. However, overexposure to sunlight can increase the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. In other words, using sunscreen can help protect against the harmful effects of premature ageing or skin ageing.

Reduces Risk of Cancer

Fortunately, sunscreen is quite effective at lowering the chance of developing several types of skin cancer, particularly melanoma. This kind of skin cancer is notoriously aggressive & can be fatal for many women, especially those in their twenties. However, you must apply sunscreen daily to see the cumulative protection over the days and months.

Healthy Skin Overall

Essential proteins in the skin like keratin are protected when sunscreen is applied. These proteins are primarily responsible for keeping the skin smooth and healthy both in appearance and function.
