Using SPF

It’s very important to use it even if it’s not sunny outside. It’s your ultimate protection for your skin.

Why is SPF so important?

It’s crucial to use it in your daily skincare routine, if you want to maintain healthy and protected skin. It’s a simple and effective way to safeguard your skin from sun damage.

Protects Against Sun Damage

SPF (Sun Protection Factor) creams help shield your skin from the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays. Prolonged exposure to UV radiation can lead to premature aging, wrinkles, age spots, and an increased risk of skin cancer.

Prevents Sunburn

SPF creams create a protective barrier on your skin, reducing the amount of UV radiation that reaches your skin's surface. This helps prevent painful and damaging sunburns.

Reduces Risk of Skin Cancer

Excessive UV exposure is a major risk factor for developing skin cancer. Using SPF creams regularly can significantly reduce your chances of developing this potentially life-threatening condition.

Maintains Skin Health

Sun exposure can break down collagen and elastin in your skin, leading to sagging, wrinkles, and a loss of firmness. SPF creams help maintain your skin's health and youthful appearance.

How to properly use sunscreen?

These are the tips how to properly apply SPF and prevent your skin from sun damage:

Choose the Right Sunscreen

Select a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30. Look for a formula that suits your skin type, whether it's oily, dry, or sensitive.

Apply Enough Sunscreen

Most people don't apply enough sunscreen. The recommended amount is about 1 ounce (a shot glass full) to cover your entire body. For your face alone, use about 1/4 teaspoon.

Apply Sunscreen Before Sun Exposure

Apply sunscreen 15-30 minutes before going outside to allow it to fully absorb into your skin and provide maximum protection.

Reapply Regularly

Reapply sunscreen every 2 hours, or more frequently if you are swimming or sweating. Sunscreen can wear off, so it's important to reapply throughout the day.

Don't Forget Sensitive Areas

Pay extra attention to often-missed areas like the lips, around the eyes, ears, neck, hands, and feet. These areas are particularly sensitive to sun damage.

Combine with Other Sun-Safe Practices

Sunscreen should be used in combination with other sun-safe practices, such as seeking shade, wearing protective clothing, and avoiding peak sun hours between 10 AM and 4 PM.
