What product should a cosmetologist regularly use to maintain healthy skin?

Sunscreen is essential for maintaining healthy skin because it protects against the harmful effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. Prolonged exposure to UV rays can lead to skin damage, including premature aging, sunburn, and an increased risk of skin cancer. A cosmetologist, who works closely with skin care, understands the importance of safeguarding the skin against these risks. Regular use of sunscreen helps to prevent these negative outcomes, allowing for healthier, more resilient skin over time.

While moisturizer is also important for hydration, especially in preventing dryness and maintaining the skin barrier, it does not offer the same level of protection against sun damage as sunscreen. Foundation and tanning lotion may serve cosmetic purposes but are not fundamental for skin health like sunscreen is.
