What is the function of sunscreen?

Sunscreen protects the skin against the harmful effects of the sun, particularly UV radiation. A distinction is made between UVA and UVB radiation. UVA radiation penetrates deep into the skin and can lead to premature skin aging. UVB radiation reaches the outer layer of the skin, the epidermis, and is the primary cause of sunburn. Therefore, it is important to use sun protection throughout the year. Do you prefer natural products? Here are the benefits of natural sunscreen and find here the best natural sunscreens .

What SPF do you need?

The duration for which you can stay in the sun without burning or sustaining deeper skin damage varies by skin type. There are four skin types: Skin Type 1 : This skin burns very easily and hardly tans. People with this skin type often have very fair skin, blonde or red hair, and many freckles. Advice: Use at least SPF 30 to spend about three hours in the sun. It is safer to use SPF 50. Skin Type 2 : This skin burns fairly quickly and tans slowly. People with this skin type often have fair skin, blonde hair, and light eyes. Advice: Use at least SPF 20 to spend about three hours in the sun. It is safer to use SPF 30. Skin Type 3 : This skin rarely burns and tans easily. People with this skin type often have brown hair and dark eyes. Advice: Use at least SPF 15 to spend about three hours in the sun. It is safer to use SPF 20. Skin Type 4 : This skin hardly ever burns and tans very well. People with this skin type often have naturally brown skin. Advice: Use at least SPF 10 to spend about three hours in the sun. It is safer to use SPF 15.

How often should you reapply?

Most sunscreens are designed to last for about 2 hours. However, this can vary depending on factors such as the SPF, the level of perspiration, the water resistance of the product, and the amount of sunscreen applied. To ensure you are optimally protected, it is important to read the instructions on the product. Moreover, you must not forget to reapply your sunscreen regularly, even when the sun isn’t shining. UV radiation can still damage the skin, even when it’s cloudy. Therefore, using sunscreen is a vital way to protect the skin from this damage. It is recommended to reapply sunscreen at least every two hours. Also, reapply sun protection after swimming, intense sweating, or after towel drying. Looking for a good routine?
