9 Foundations That Have Major SPF
While you may not be lounging in the sun this winter, that doesn't mean that you shouldn't keep protecting your skin from the sun's harmful rays. As winter just around the corner, it's time to stock up on foundations with SPF. And when it comes to protecting your skin from harmful UV rays (yes, even in winter), the higher the SPF number, the better. According to SkinCancer.org, it's a good idea to wear makeup with skin protection in conjunction to your regular sunscreen as it helps protect our delicate skin from damaging free radicals. Experts say that when we apply our sunscreen, it can go on unevenly. By having that added layer of SPF in our makeup, there is a better chance of achieving an even layer of UV protection across the skin. It's that simple.
Foundation with high level protection might not be the best for photos, however, it is great for day-to-day usage. These foundations pack a punch when it comes to fighting off harmful UVA/UVB rays. By incorporating SPF into your beauty routine, you're lessening your chances of sun damage throughout the day, according to WebMD. So, go ahead and reach for your foundation with powerful SPF this winter. Your skin will thank you for it.
