What is SPF?
SPF stands for sun protection factor. It indicates how well sun protection helps shield your skin from UVB rays, which can cause sunburn. For example, SPF 30 provides a high level of protection against UVB rays when used as directed.
Find Out More:
- UVB and UVA: UVB rays can burn your skin, while UVA rays penetrate deeper. Broad-spectrum sun protection is designed to help guard your skin from both types of rays
- Absorption and reflection: sun protection products may use chemical filters (which absorb UV rays and convert them to heat) and physical filters such as zinc oxide or titanium dioxide (which reflect UV rays away from the skin)
Why is Daily SPF Essential?
- Sun protection: UV radiation can burn your skin and damage skin cells. Using sun protection regularly can help protect you from the sun's harmful rays
- Anti-ageing: UV exposure can trigger melanin production. Sun protection with a minimum SPF 15 and equivalent UVA protection can help delay premature skin ageing and prevent sun-related pigmentation from forming
Application Tips:
- Amount matters: follow manufacturer guidelines on how much sun protection to apply and ensure you don’t miss any exposed areas
- Timing: sun protection should be applied to clean, dry skin and allowed to absorb prior to sun exposure
- Re-application: re-apply sun protection after swimming or exercising and re-apply regularly, especially if you’re somewhere with high UV levels, have pale skin or are prone to burning
- Daily use: sun protection should be worn even on cloudy days, as UV rays can penetrate clouds and glass
- Be sensible in the sun: take regular shade breaks, stay out of the sun in the middle of the day and take other precautions such as wearing hats, long-sleeved clothing and drinking plenty of water
