SAEDNEWS: Many people believe that sunscreen is only necessary during the day to protect the skin, but recent studies show that using it at night can also have significant benefits.

Is Wearing Sunscreen at Night Necessary?

According to SAEDNEWS, You certainly know that the most important and essential step for skin health is using sunscreen. In fact, if you follow a complete skincare routine but ignore sunscreen, it's as if you haven't done anything for your skin.

Do We Need Sunscreen at Night?

Generally, there is no need to use sunscreen at night. During the night, the exposure to harmful sun rays is so minimal that it cannot cause significant damage to the skin. Additionally, the skin, like any other organ, needs rest, and continuous use of sunscreen can clog the pores, leading to dryness and irritation.

However, using sunscreen at night is not harmful to the skin, but it also won't provide any additional benefits. In general, sunscreens are designed to protect the skin from harmful sun rays during the day, and their use at night is usually not necessary.

A Few Tips for Using Sunscreen Throughout the Day

If you're determined to use sunscreen at night or simply want more information about its use, keep these 5 tips in mind:

Limitations of Using Sunscreen at Night

Most sunscreens are designed to protect the skin from harmful sun rays. This means their formulation is specifically tailored to combat certain wavelengths of sunlight. As a result, these products may not be as effective at night when we're not exposed to sunlight, and could even clog the pores of the skin.

Skin Sensitivity

Some individuals are sensitive to artificial light, such as blue light emitted from electronic devices' screens. This sensitivity can sometimes lead to spots, inflammation, and premature skin aging. If you are one of these individuals, using sunscreen at night can help protect your skin.

Consulting a doctor

To ensure the correct and safe use of sunscreen at night, it’s best to consult with a dermatologist before taking any action. Based on your skin type and specific conditions, the doctor will recommend the best product for you.

Protection of the skin from artificial light

The doctor may diagnose that your skin is vulnerable to artificial light, such as from televisions, laptops, or mobile phones, and may recommend certain sunscreens that protect your skin from these light sources.

Using Skincare Products at Night

Sometimes, instead of sunscreen, it's necessary to use nighttime skincare products. For example, night creams or moisturizers prescribed by a doctor can have much better and more significant effects than sunscreen. In fact, nighttime skincare should be tailored to your skin's needs, and not everyone will need sunscreen all the time.
