☀️ The Truth About UV Rays, Sun Spots & Why Sunscreen is Your Skin’s Best Friend

At Spa Xanadu, we’re passionate about helping you achieve radiant, healthy skin—and one of the most important steps in any skincare routine is daily sun protection. While the sun may feel warm and comforting, its UV rays can cause long-term damage, often showing up as wrinkles, sun spots, and uneven skin tone. Here’s why sunscreen is your skin’s best defense, plus a look at some of our favorite formulas from SkinCeuticals.

🌞 What Exactly Are UV Rays?

The sun emits ultraviolet (UV) rays that affect your skin in different ways:

• UVA Rays: These penetrate deeply and are responsible for premature aging, such as fine lines, wrinkles, and sun spots (also called age spots or hyperpigmentation).

• UVB Rays: These are the main cause of sunburns and can also damage your DNA, increasing the risk of skin cancer.

UV rays are present year-round—even on cloudy days, through car windows, and indoors near sunlight.

💡 Why Sunscreen Should Be Non-Negotiable

Think sunscreen is just for the beach? Think again! Daily sunscreen helps:

• Prevent premature aging and visible damage

• Reduce the risk of skin cancer

• Prevent sun spots and discoloration

• Maintain an even, glowing skin tone

Once sun spots appear, they can be tough to treat—prevention is key!
