With no question, you should absolutely be wearing sunscreen on your wedding day. Whether you are in a sunny climate or you are going to be spending most of the day outdoors. The very last thing you want to happen is to get burnt on your big day. UV rays can damage your skin, no matter the weather. Not only is it necessary to remember to wear sunscreen on your wedding day, but it is important that you wear it ahead of your celebrations as well to prevent damage. The goal is to have healthy, radiant skin that makes you feel confident on your special day and sunscreen plays an important role in this.
Pay attention to your SPF formula
Be sure to check whether your chosen SPF is protected from both UVA and UVB rays as this gives you the ultimate protection. Take into consideration your skin type and go for a sunscreen that works best with how your skin changes throughout the day.

This fragrance free, organic filter facial sunscreen is suitable for normal to combination skin and also specifically designed for sensitive skin types.

Don’t forget about your body
Burnt shoulders, back or chest on your wedding day is never ideal. I would recommend applying body sunscreen at least one hour before putting your dress on to allow the sunscreen to soak in. You may also want to reapply lightly throughout the day to stay topped up and avoid transfer to your wedding dress.
