Spring often brings increased humidity, more sun exposure, and a higher chance of clogged pores from sweating. Here’s how to adjust accordingly:<\/p>\n UV damage isn\u2019t just a summer problem. Even on cloudy Spring days, UVA rays penetrate through clouds and glass. Apply a moisturizer with SPF 30 or higher<\/strong> every morning. This prevents sunspots, wrinkles, and long-term skin damage.<\/p>\n If you’re outside frequently\u2014whether you’re running, golfing, or grilling\u2014consider applying a dedicated broad-spectrum sunscreen every 2 hours.<\/p>\n Facial hair is a personal style statement, but it should never be unruly.
