What is a benefit of using SPF after a facial?

Enhances skin texture
Prevents wrinkles
Protects against UV damage
Reduces pore size

The correct answer is: Protects against UV damage

Using SPF after a facial is crucial because it protects the skin against UV damage. After receiving a facial, the skin can be more sensitive and vulnerable, making it essential to shield it from harmful ultraviolet rays, which can cause sunburn, premature aging, and increase the risk of skin cancer. Sunscreen acts as a barrier, preventing these harmful effects and maintaining the skin's health and integrity. Though enhancing skin texture, preventing wrinkles, and reducing pore size are beneficial to the skin, they are not the primary reason for applying SPF. The protection against UV damage is the most important factor, especially following treatments that may leave the skin more susceptible to environmental stressors.
