"Why is it important to use products with SPF?

Mint & Needle’s Brandi Gregge shares four key reasons to reach for the tube of sunscreen.

  2. It can reduce risk of skin cancer: Prolonged exposure to UV radiation increases the risk of developing skin cancer, including melanoma, basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma.
  3. It prevents premature aging: UV rays can cause aging of the skin (think wrinkles, fine lines and age spots).
  4. It prevents hyperpigmentation: Sun exposure can lead to uneven skin tone and hyperpigmentation, including dark spots and melasma.
