How to Build a Daily Sun Protection Routine

Protecting your skin from the sun is one of the most crucial steps in your daily skincare routine: Consistent sun protection reduces your risk of sunburn, prevents signs of premature aging, and preserves your skin’s long-term health.


At Prequel, we've developed dermatologist-designed sun protection products to make your daily routine simple and effective.


Here's your step-by-step guide to creating your perfect daily sun protection routine.

Step 1: Choose the Right Sunscreen for Your Face & Body

Your routine begins by choosing the sunscreen that suits your skin type, lifestyle, and personal preferences. Prequel offers two distinct sunscreen formulas—a chemical sunscreen and a mineral sunscreen—each with specific benefits:


Apply sunscreen generously to your face and neck, approximately fifteen minutes before sun exposure, as the final step in your morning skincare routine. To simplify reapplication throughout the day, keep your sunscreen conveniently accessible in your bag, desk drawer, or car.

Step 2: Protect Your Lips with SPF Lip Balm

Lips need special sun protection because the skin there is especially thin and sensitive, making it more vulnerable to sun damage and early signs of aging.


Our Lip Visor SPF 30 Lip Balm makes sun protection for lips simple. Available in Clear or Rosedust (a subtle rosy nude), Lip Visor hydrates and protects your lips without the unpleasant aftertaste of traditional lip sunscreens.


Keep Lip Visor handy throughout the day to make daily lip protection effortless. For maximum protection, reapply frequently throughout the day, especially after eating, drinking, or spending extended time outdoors. Keeping an SPF lip balm at your desk or in your car helps ensure consistent use.

Step 3: Boost Your Protection with Photoprotective Accessories

Sunscreen is the foundation of your sun protection routine, but accessories like UPF-rated clothing can boost your defense against harmful UV rays.


Our Fingerless Sun Gloves (UPF 50+) protect hands, one of the most commonly overlooked areas for sun protection, from sun damage. These gloves are lightweight, breathable, and feature silicone grips and adjustable Velcro straps for comfortable daily wear. Whether you're driving, walking outdoors, or exposed to UV lamps during gel manicures, our gloves ensure your hands remain protected. Stash them in your car or bag so they're always available when you need them.


For added face and neck protection, our Wide Brimmed UPF 50+ Hat provides comfortable coverage. Keep your UPF hat by the front door or tucked into your everyday bag to help make daily wear a habit.

Step 4: Reapply Sunscreen Throughout the Day

Effective sun protection means reapplying your sunscreen regularly—every two hours during outdoor exposure and immediately after swimming, sweating, or towel drying.


To simplify reapplication, keep Solar Shade or Sun Barrier sunscreen accessible throughout the day. Reapply Lip Visor frequently to ensure continuous lip protection. Consistent use of photoprotective accessories helps fill in any gaps in your sun protection, particularly on busy days or when you're outdoors.
