Shield Your Summer Glow

A sunscreen reminder from your loving team at Aegis MD in St. Catharines

Summer makes everything feel lighter. Longer days, open windows, warm skin, and a little more time spent outside. The members of our team will be the first to tell you how much they enjoy walks by the lake or just eating lunch in the sun. We all soak it in.

But while we’re enjoying the sunshine, our skin’s dealing with more than just good vibes. UV rays are more prominent and can cause damage that we try to avoid.

That’s where sunscreen comes in, and not just as something we toss in the beach bag. At Aegis MD medical aesthetics clinic in Niagara, we see the long-term effects of the sun on our patients’ skin. From early signs of aging to sunspots and even skin cancer, the damage is real, but preventable.

Why should sunscreen be your non-negotiable this summer?

Sunscreen is one of the simplest and most effective ways to care for your skin, especially on your face, chest, neck, and hands. These areas get the most sun and are often the first to show it.

A good broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or more) creates a protective barrier that helps keep your skin smooth, even-toned, and healthy. For those of you who invest in our medical aesthetic treatments, it’s essential to know that sunscreen pairs perfectly with your injectables, laser treatments, or facials by helping to preserve your results.

A few tips that our team lives by at Aegis MD in St. Catharines:

  • Apply 20 minutes before heading out
  • Don’t forget your ears, hairline, and the back of your hands
  • Reapply every couple of hours if you’re out and about
  • Keep a mini SPF in your bag or car for easy application
If you’re unsure where to start or need help choosing the right sunscreen, our team at Aegis MD in Niagara is always happy to make recommendations based on your skin type and goals.
