As kids, sunscreen was just that thing your mom would slather on before a beach day. Fast forward to adulthood. it’s the most important step in our skincare routine! If you’re still skipping SPF, consider this your sign to start. And if you’re already consistent, let’s make sure you’re getting the best protection possible.
SPF Explained
SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor, a measure of protection against the sun’s UVB rays
(the rays that cause burns).
Here’s how it works:
- SPF 15 blocks about 93% of UVB rays
- SPF 30 blocks about 97%
- SPF 50 blocks about 98%
Dermatologists generally recommend staying between SPF 30 and SPF 50, which gives youthe right balance of coverage without a false sense of “invincibility” in the sun.
But here’s the catch: you’ll want to make sure your sunscreen is broads pectrum which
means it protects against both UVA and UVB rays.
Think of it this way:
- UVA = Aging rays → wrinkles, fine lines, dark spots.
- UVB = Burning rays → sunburns and skin cancers.
Both types of rays can damage your skin, so protection from both is non negotiable.
How Much & How Often Should You Apply?
The golden rule:
- Face + Neck: ½ teaspoon of sunscreen
- Full Body: About 1 ounce (roughly a shot glass full)
Reapply every two hours, or more often if you’re swimming or sweating. And don’t forget
you need to apply sunscreen 30 minutes before sun exposure for it to be fully eective.
