What are sun protection factors and what does SPF mean?
Sun Protection Factors (SPF) is a system for measuring the effectiveness of sunscreens in protecting the skin from ultraviolet (UV) radiation. UV radiation is divided into two main types: UVA and UVB. UVA rays penetrate deep into the skin, causing premature aging and wrinkles, while UVB rays cause burns and can lead to skin cancer.
What does SPF mean?
SPF is a number that indicates the level of protection against UVB rays. It determines how long you can stay in the sun without risking sunburn compared to unprotected skin.
How does SPF work?
The calculation of SPF is that each SPF factor increases the time of safe exposure to the sun. For example, if your unprotected skin starts to turn red after 10 minutes, using a product with SPF 15 will allow you to stay in the sun for about 15 times longer without burning, i.e. 150 minutes (10 minutes × 15 = 150 minutes).
How many minutes of exposure to the sun gives 1 protection factor?
One SPF factor increases the time spent in the sun by an average of 10 minutes. This means that a product with SPF 30 allows you to stay in the sun for about 300 minutes (10 minutes × 30 = 300 minutes), and with SPF 50 – up to 500 minutes (10 minutes × 50 = 500 minutes).
Important points about using SPF:
- Abundant application: To achieve maximum protection, a sufficient amount of product should be applied.
- Reapply: Protection needs to be renewed every two hours, as well as after bathing, sweating or toweling off.
- Comprehensive protection: Using products with a broad spectrum of action that protect against UVA and UVB rays.
Recommendations for using sunscreen
- Causing:
- Apply sunscreen 15-30 minutes before going out in the sun.
- Use an adequate amount of cream: about 2 mg/cm² of skin or about 1 teaspoon for the face and neck.
- Apply the cream evenly, not forgetting the ears, neck, hairline, and the skin above the lips.
- Re-application:
- Reapply every 2 hours, especially after swimming, sweating or toweling.
- Remember that even waterproof creams need to be reapplied after contact with water.
- Daily use:
- Use sunscreen every day, regardless of the weather, as UVA rays can penetrate through clouds and windows.
- Include sunscreen in your morning skin care routine.
- Combination with other means:
- If you use other skin care products (serums, moisturizers), apply them first, followed by sunscreen.
- When using makeup, apply sunscreen before applying foundation.
- Special areas and types of skin:
- Use specially formulated formulas for sensitive areas such as the face, eyes and lips.
- For oily or problem skin, choose non-comedogenic formulas that don’t clog pores.
- Expiration date:
- Check the expiration date of the cream. Old means may lose their effectiveness.
- Store the cream in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
By following these recommendations, you can ensure maximum protection of your skin from the harmful effects of the sun’s rays and keep it healthy and young.
