The Power of Consistency: Building Sunscreen Into Your Daily Routine

By now, we all know sunscreen is non-negotiable. It’s not just for beach days or fair skin. Whether your skin is fair, olive, or deep, it’s exposed daily to UV rays that accelerate aging and increase the risk of skin cancer.

But knowing something is important doesn’t always lead to action. That’s where habit-building matters. Making sunscreen part of your daily rhythm—like brushing your teeth—is the key to long-term protection.

It’s not just skincare. It’s a small act of self-care that, over time, protects your skin, your health, and your confidence.

How to Make Sunscreen a Daily Habit

1. Pair It With a Habit You Already Have (Habit Stacking)

One of the easiest ways to lock in a new habit is to connect it to one you already do. This technique, known as habit stacking, makes sunscreen automatic.

• Keep your BBloom sunscreen next to your toothbrush, moisturizer, or morning coffee.

• Apply it right after your shower or skincare—no need to think about it.

As BJ Fogg says in Tiny Habits, “When you celebrate, you create a positive feeling inside yourself that wires the new habit into your brain.” So link sunscreen with something you enjoy—music, coffee, a quiet moment. Build the ritual.

2. Make It Visible, but Store It Right

Most people forget sunscreen because it’s hidden. Out of sight, out of mind.
Keep your BBloom sunscreen where you’ll see it—on your bathroom counter, dresser, or skincare shelf.

Just don’t leave it in direct sunlight or extreme heat (like a windowsill). Sunscreen ingredients break down when exposed to heat, which reduces effectiveness.

Easy to see = easy to remember.

3. Start Small. Build Momentum.

You don’t need to overhaul your entire routine overnight. Just start with one consistent act:
Apply sunscreen in the morning—whether or not you’re going out.

Once that feels natural, add the habit of reapplying, or extending coverage to your neck, ears, or hands.

As James Clear writes in Atomic Habits:
“You should be far more concerned with your current trajectory than with your current results.”
Consistency today sets the tone for tomorrow.

Why Sunscreen Matters—Every Day

Sunscreen protects your skin by forming a barrier that either reflects or absorbs harmful UV rays.

• UVA rays go deep into the skin and cause long-term aging, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation.

• UVB rays hit the surface and cause sunburn, DNA damage, and increase cancer risk.

BBloom’s mineral sunscreen uses non-nano zinc oxide to physically block both UVA and UVB rays—without leaving a white cast or using harsh chemicals. Unlike chemical sunscreens that absorb UV rays into your skin, ours sits on top, offering safe, clean protection for all skin tones.

Even on cloudy days or during quick errands, UV damage still adds up. That’s why consistent, daily use is essential.
