🌍✨ World Ozone Day | September 16
Today, we honor the invisible shield that protects life on Earth, the ozone layer. And we reflect on how women, especially, must protect their skin and health from the rising threat of UV radiation.
💡 Why it matters:
The ozone layer absorbs harmful ultraviolet rays. When it’s breached due to pollutants like CFCs and greenhouse gases UV exposure increases, leading to skin damage, premature aging, and conditions like melasma.
👩🏽⚕️ Women & UV Protection:
Melasma those stubborn brown patches on the face is often triggered by UV rays, hormones, and heat. Prevention is possible:
🧘🏽♀️ Support skin health with hydration, antioxidants, and stress management
🕶️ Avoid peak sun hours (10am–4pm)
🧴 Use broad-spectrum sunscreen daily (SPF 30+)
👒 Wear wide-brimmed hats and UV-protective clothing
🌱 Replenishing the ozone layer starts with us:
Say no to products with ozone depleting substances (CFCs, halons)
Choose energy-efficient appliances and eco-friendly refrigerants
Advocate for clean air policies and climate-conscious choices
🫶🏽 Let’s protect our planet and ourselves with science, solidarity, and self-care.
