SPF (Sun Protection Factor) measures how well a sunscreen protects your skin from UVB rays, which cause sunburn and contribute to skin damage. The higher the SPF, the more protection it offers!
Not entirely! SPF reduces UV exposure, meaning slower tanning and less skin damage, but it doesn’t block all rays. A high SPF helps prevent premature aging and sunburn while allowing minimal color change.
For daily wear, SPF 30 is a great go-to, offering around 97% UVB protection. If you're outdoors for longer, SPF 50+ is best for stronger defense against sun damage, so if your makeup products do not have a strong enough SPF, it would be wise to wear SPF underneath your makeup.
Not significantly! While SPF reduces UVB absorption, studies show you still get enough for Vitamin D production—so no need to skip sun protection!
Absolutely! UV rays are present year-round, even on cloudy days. Daily SPF helps prevent premature aging, sunspots, and long-term skin damage.
Yes! Most sunscreens last about two to three years. Expired SPF may not offer full protection, so always check the date and replace when needed.
SPF should be reapplied every two hours, or more often if sweating or swimming. Even high-SPF formulas need touch-ups to maintain protection!
