Suncare / Sun Safety
You know the temperature. You know whether it's going to rain. You might even check the wind.
But do you know today's UV Index? Probably not. And honestly, that's wild — because the UV Index tells you how strong the sun's UV radiation is on a scale from 0 to 11+. It's basically the weather app for your future skin.
A Quick UV Index Cheat Sheet
0–2 — Relax.
3–5 — Time to think about protection.
6–7 — High.
8–10 — Very high.
11+ — The sun woke up angry.
The crazy part? A beautiful 75-degree day can still have a UV Index of 9. Meanwhile people think they're safe because it "doesn't feel that hot." Temperature and UV exposure are not the same thing — and your skin knows the difference.
A beautiful 75-degree day can still have a UV Index of 9.
Checking the UV Index takes about five seconds and might be one of the smartest skincare habits nobody talks about.
And on those high UV days? That's exactly when sunscreen, hats, sunglasses, and a little extra support from REYS make the most sense.*
Because your skin doesn't care how nice the weather feels. It cares what the UV Index says.
