We know we sound like a broken record, but we really can’t emphasise it enough: is a non-negotiable step in your morning skin care routine. Even in winter.

Yes, even on cloudy, rainy and just-plain-miserable days, those nasty UV rays can still damage your skin. First there are UVA rays – they’re responsible for prematurely ageing your skin, accelerating the formation of fine lines and wrinkles. Then there are UVB rays – they’re the ones that cause sunburn. You might not notice the effects of the sun so much in the colder months, but trust us, your skin still needs protecting.
