Why SPF is a Spring Skincare Essential – Protect Your Skin with Heliocare 360°
by Izzy Gannon on Mar 15, 2025
As we step into brighter, sunnier days, it’s time to refresh our skincare routine for spring. While many people associate SPF with summer, the truth is that sun protection is essential all year round—and spring is the perfect time to prioritise it.
At Fixation Skincare & Laser Clinic, we always emphasise the importance of daily SPF use, and with Heliocare 360°, you can protect your skin while keeping it healthy, radiant, and youthful.
Why is SPF Important in Spring?
As the seasons change, UV exposure increases, and your skin is more vulnerable to sun damage, premature ageing, and pigmentation. Here’s why SPF should be a non-negotiable step in your skincare routine this spring:
1. UV Rays Are Stronger Than You Think
Even on cloudy spring days, up to 80% of UV rays penetrate the skin. UVA rays, which contribute to premature ageing, are present all year round and can even pass through windows, making daily SPF application essential.
2. Prevents Premature Ageing & Wrinkles
Sun exposure is one of the leading causes of fine lines, wrinkles, and collagen breakdown. Daily SPF use helps to preserve skin elasticity and reduce signs of ageing, keeping your complexion firm and youthful.
3. Reduces Pigmentation & Uneven Skin Tone
Hyperpigmentation, sun spots, and melasma can all be triggered or worsened by UV exposure. Even in spring, without adequate SPF protection, your skin may develop uneven patches of pigmentation, which can be difficult to treat.
4. Protects Against Skin Sensitivity
If you’re using active ingredients like retinol, AHAs, or undergoing professional treatments like laser, microneedling, or resurfacers, your skin will be more sensitive to the sun. SPF is crucial in preventing irritation and long-term damage.
Why We Recommend Heliocare 360° SPF
