Rufus R. Noble When you think of skincare, one thing that pops into your mind is our CTM routine of cleansing, Moisturising, Toning, and Cleansing. However, an additional element that’s equally crucial and must be considered a necessity is Sunscreen. If you’re going out or staying in, applying Sunscreen is essential. However, deciding on the right Sunscreen can be challenging and complex, particularly if you’re familiar with SPF and what various numbers on the side mean. Are you aware of the distinction between SPF 50? SPF 30 or SPF 15? Which one is best for you? If you don’t know, then you’re in the correct location. Here’s everything you should learn about sunscreens and the different kinds of SPF.
Benefits of Sunscreen
Protects your skin from damaging UV radiation
- The ozone layer is continuously decreasing and puts the risk of being damaged by harmful UV Rays. Although getting enough vitamin D from the sun is essential to your health, this doesn’t mean you have to risk your skin by not shielding it. Screens for the sun are a must to protect your skin from ultraviolet radiation.
Helps prevent premature aging
- It’s the goal of all women to have younger and healthier skin. Exposing your skin to sunlight could cause premature aging of your skin, resulting in lines, wrinkles, and age spots. The use of Sunscreen can stop premature aging.
Reduces the chance of developing skin cancer.
- Sunscreen protects your skin from harmful UV rays and lowers the risk of developing skin cancers that could develop from excessive exposure to sunlight.
Helps prevent sunburn
- Sunburns can be painful and also cause damage to the skin. Sunscreen nourishes the skin and shields it from sunburn.
Stops the tan
- Although getting a tan is very popular nowadays, you don’t want to put your skin at risk of being damaged by UV radiation. If you go for a sun bath, apply Sunscreen to minimize the possibility of tan because of harmful UV radiation.
What is the best way to distinguish between the different SPFs?
Sunscreens build a barrier over the skin, which shields them against UVA (responsible for aging skin) and UVB (responsible for sunburn) radiation. Sunscreens with a broad spectrum sunscreen block both harmful rays and help to prevent damage to the skin. Its SPF (sun protection factor) in Sunscreen will let you know the amount of time it takes in the sun’s rays to cause burns on your skin when exposed. If you choose to use SPF 50 sunscreen, your skin will likely require 50 times more time to burn, unlike not having Sunscreen.
When deciding on the best SPF sunblock for your skin, please consider the length of time it takes for your skin to be burned when exposed to sunlight radiation. For example, if your skin turns red within 10 minutes after exposure to the sun, then the SPF 15 will protect your skin for 150 minutes, i.e., two hours and 30 minutes if used correctly. But, this does not mean the higher SPF will provide more protection. SPF 50 protects against 98 percent of UVB Rays. However, SPF 15 and SPF 30 protect 93 percent and 97% of UVB Rays, respectively.
