This does not mean that sunscreen is unnecessary, it is ALWAYS one of the most important steps in your day care but as we age, it gets more and more important to wear sunscreen, because our melanocytes ( the melanin producing cells) are weaker and damaged by the sun, the pollution, the stress and our bad eating habits. In sum, they are weakened by our age but especially by the sun.

When this happens, and when our melanocytes are weaker, they cause a brown pigmentation in our skins that is called age or sunspots.
