The #1 Anti-Aging Product Worth Adding to Your Routine

Want further proof? Studies have shown that using sunscreen regularly delays skin aging, says Shah. Another key word: Regularly. While slathering it on in the summer when youre at the beach or pool is great, using it every single daythats 365 days a year, rain or shineis what will yield those real anti-aging benefits. Keep in mind that the suns UVA rays (those that cause all those unwanted signs of aging) are the same strength year-round, and can even penetrate through glass. When choosing a sunscreen, Shah recommends looking for a broad-spectrum formula with at least SPF 30but make sure its one you actually like, so that wearing it every day is enjoyable rather than a chore youre likely to skip.
