With the increasing strength of ultraviolet radiation, it’s important to protect your face with a good SPF sunscreen. However, with so many options available, it can be overwhelming to choose the right one. Dermatologist Adarsh Vijay Mudgil recommends using sunscreen with at least SPF 30, which he calls the “magic number”. SPF 15 blocks around 93% of UVB rays, while SPF 30 blocks about 97%. So, for the best protection, opt for a sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher to keep your face safe from harmful UV rays.
But how do we make sure we choose a cream that will really protect our facial skin from the sun’s rays?
Here are a few hints.
-When using SPF face cream, you should also take into consideration your skin type.
-Cream that is waterproof is more effective.
-Look for a broad-spectrum sunscreen cream.
-Avoid harmful chemical ingredients.
-Check the expiry date of the cream.
-Consider the time you spend in the sun (Apply sunscreen about 15 minutes before going out in the sun and reapply every few hours).
Check out these benefits of using SPF cream:
-Reduce the risk of skin cancer.
-Helps prevent inflammation and redness of the skin.
-Protects against sunburn.
-Prevent premature skin aging and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
-Prevents hyperpigmentation of the skin, i.e. the appearance of brown spots on the face.
