Do I Really Need SPF Every Day in the UK?
Short answer: Even on cloudy days, UVA rays (the ones responsible for aging) are still present and can pass through clouds and windows.
But that doesn’t mean you should avoid the sun completely…
In fact, brief sun exposure can actually benefit your health:
• Boosts vitamin D, essential for bone and immune health
• Improves mood and mental clarity through serotonin production
• Supports healthy sleep by helping regulate your natural body clock
Spending 10–15 minutes in the sun without SPF - early morning or late afternoon, can be safe and beneficial for most people. After that, it’s time to apply your SPF to protect your skin long term.
Always consult a dermatologist if you have sensitive skin or a history of skin conditions.
