For skincare lovers

Your skincare routine starts with UV

If you care about your skin, sun protection is the highest-impact habit there is. Suntic turns the daily UV index into clear, consistent guidance so protection becomes routine.

Suntic skin analysis result showing skin type and cosmetic signals

Dermatologists widely agree that sun exposure is the single biggest controllable factor in how skin ages over time, ahead of almost anything in a skincare cabinet. Daily, consistent UV protection does more for long-term skin health than any single product.

Why UV matters for skincare

Ageing

UVA penetrates deep and is strongly associated with premature ageing.

Everyday exposure

Walking, commuting and sitting by a window all add up over time.

Varies by skin type

Everyone benefits from protection, though sensitivity differs.

Balance

You still need some daylight for wellbeing and vitamin D: it's about managing exposure, not avoiding the sun.

How Suntic supports your skin

Suntic shows the live UV index so you know when daily SPF really matters, helps you track your sun exposure over time, and can log estimated vitamin D to Apple Health for balance. Pair it with broad-spectrum SPF 30+ as the foundation of your routine.

A note on claims

Suntic offers general guidance, not medical advice, and its optional skin features give a cosmetic reading only: they don't diagnose anything. For concerns about a mole, a skin change or your skin health, see a qualified dermatologist. Learn the fundamentals in SPF and the UV index.

FAQ

FAQ

Is the sun really the main cause of skin ageing?
UV exposure is widely considered the leading controllable factor in premature skin ageing. Daily, consistent sun protection is one of the most effective skincare habits.
Do I need sunscreen every day?
For most people, daily broad-spectrum SPF on exposed skin is sensible whenever the UV index is 3 or above, and incidental exposure adds up even on ordinary days.
Does Suntic analyse my skin medically?
No. Suntic provides general guidance and an optional cosmetic skin reading only. It is not a medical device and does not diagnose conditions: see a dermatologist for any concern.
