Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Five Common SPF myths debunked
Caption: Five Common SPF myths debunked. London facialist Cecilia Ross, founder of Cecilia London, has debunked six common SPF myths. Darker skin doesn't require SPF. Whether you tan easily, have olive toned or dark skin, we all need to apply a high factor SPF. ”All skin types are susceptible to sun damage, so regardless of your skin colour or how easily you tan, apply a high factor SPF 30 minutes before sun exposure and regularly throughout the day.” You only need SPF when you're directly in the sun SPF: should be worn all year round, not matter what you're doing, not only when you are sitting in direct sunlight. Any sun exposure can affect your skin. ”Sun exposure throughout the year can contribute to premature skin ageing, including fine lines, loss of elasticity and pigmentation, as well as increased risk of skin cancer.” Foundations containing SPF are enough. The small amount of SPF in makeup is not enough. You need to apply a dedicated sun protection product before your foundation as the last step in your routine for maximum protection. ”SPF if the ultimate anti-ager so should be a step in your routine that you never miss out.” Water-resistant SPFs don't need to be reapplied: A common misconception is that if a SPF is water resistant, then it doesn't need to be reapplied. It's water resistant- not water proof! "So ensure you are reapplying whether you've been in the pool, sea or are just sweating on a hot day. SPF should be reapplied every two hours at least for maximum protection." SPF prevents the body from absorbing vitamin D We all need vitamin D for reasons such as keeping your bones strong and boosting the immune system. You can still maintain your vitamin D levels, whilst using a high spectrum SPF and if you're worried about your vitamin D levels. “You can also absorb this through a healthy diet and supplements, such as oily fish and egg yolks.” THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
