The most basic step in skin care that everyone agrees on: sun protection.
Dermatologists worldwide say the same thing: using sunscreen every day is the most effective way to prevent premature aging, blemishes, and skin cancer.
However, with so many products on the market, the questions “What does SPF actually mean?” and “Which one should I choose?” can be confusing.

What Does SPF Mean?

SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor and indicates the duration of your skin's protection against UVB rays.
For example, if your skin normally burns in 10 minutes, an SPF 30 cream would theoretically extend that time by 30 times.

SPF 15: Blocks 93% of UVB rays.

SPF 30: Blocks 97%.

SPF 50: Blocks 98%.

While the difference may seem small, a high SPF is crucial for sensitive skin or intense sun exposure.

Difference Between UVA and UVB

UVB rays cause skin burns and skin cancer.

UVA rays penetrate deeper, causing premature aging and loss of elasticity.

Therefore, it is necessary to choose sunscreens that provide broad-spectrum protection .

Choosing the Right Sunscreen

Broad Spectrum Label: Must provide both UVA and UVB protection.

Formulation: Avoid harmful chemicals like oxybenzone; opt for mineral filters like zinc oxide or titanium dioxide.

Texture: Gel formulas are ideal for oily skin, creams moisturize dry skin, and sprays make reapplication easy.

Lifestyle Compatibility: If you swim or sweat, choose water-resistant formulas.

The Importance of Re-Implementation

No sunscreen lasts all day. It needs to be reapplied every two hours, especially after swimming or sweating.

Sunscreen should be used every day , not just at the beach, even indoors , because UVA rays pass through glass.
