The Truth About Year-Round Sun Protection
For many, sunscreen is a summer staple—applied before beach outings or vacations, then forgotten during the rest of the year. But dermatologists widely agree: Sun protection is not seasonal. It’s a daily requirement for maintaining long-term skin health, no matter the weather or time of year.
Why Sunscreen is Essential Every Day?
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun reaches the earth throughout the year. While UVB rays (those responsible for sunburn) do fluctuate with seasons, UVA rays remain constant—and they’re the ones responsible for premature aging, collagen breakdown, and DNA damage.
Even on cloudy days, up to 80% of UV radiation penetrates the atmosphere. Indoors isn’t always safe either—UVA rays pass through glass, exposing skin to damage near windows or while driving. In colder months, snow and ice reflect sunlight, intensifying UV exposure on the skin.
Sun damage accumulates over time. That’s why consistent, daily use of sunscreen is crucial for preventing:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Hyperpigmentation and uneven tone
- Skin cancers, including melanoma
So What Kind of Sunscreen Should You Use?
Not all sunscreens are equal, and choosing the right formulation can affect both skin health and user compliance. The ideal sunscreen should be broad-spectrum and comfortable for daily wear—something Aveil has taken into careful consideration in its formulations.
Integrating Daily Sunscreen into Your Skincare Routine
When sun protection feels lightweight, invisible, and non-irritating, it becomes easier to apply it every day—not just in summer. Aveil offers several dermatologist-formulated sunscreens that support this very goal:
- For those concerned about white cast or heavy textures, a physical sunscreen like Aveil’s Unseen Physical Sunscreen SPF 50 PA+++ offers mineral-based protection with a sheer, matte finish that blends easily into all skin tones.
- In high-heat environments—where not just UV rays but infrared and pollution affect skin integrity—Aveil Heat Shield Sunscreen SPF 50 Gel offers additional protection, designed to prevent inflammation, dullness, and oxidative stress caused by urban exposure.
- For individuals who want their sunscreen to double as a base, Aveil’s Sheer Tinted Sunscreen delivers both UV protection and a subtle tone-evening effect, ideal for minimal or makeup-free days.
All of these products are designed as daily-use formulations, easy to layer under makeup or over moisturizers, and crafted for year-round relevance.
Supporting a Comprehensive Routine
While sunscreen is the frontline defense, Aveil also offers supporting skincare that complements this approach:
- Aveil’s Crème Avoine Oatmeal Moisturizer is suitable for calming post-sun exposure inflammation and maintaining the skin barrier.
- For those managing pigmentation or dullness, Aveil’s C-Nu Vitamin C serum may support antioxidant defence and skin tone correction when used in conjunction with daily sun protection.
Each of these complements—not replaces—the core role of sunscreen in your routine.
Final Takeaway
Sunscreen isn’t a summer-only product. It’s a year-round commitment to skin preservation and health. UV damage doesn’t pause when the weather changes, nor should your protection strategy.
Choosing the right sunscreen shouldn’t feel complicated. Aveil offers dermatologist-developed formulations that are easy to wear, effective in protection, and tailored for real-life skin needs—whether you’re at your desk, on a walk, or in harsh outdoor environments.
