The Ultimate Guide to Sunscreen: Everything You Need to Know | |
Sunscreen is one of the most critical skincare products to have in your possession anyhow. Not only does it protect your skin from painful sunburn, but it also protects against premature aging, sun damage and skin cancer. However, there is a lot of product out there, and you may be confused about what sunscreen is right for you. This guide will provide you with the knowledge you need to select the best sunscreen for your skin and lifestyle. The Importance of Sunscreen The sun emits two kinds of harmful rays: UVA and UVB. UVA rays penetrate the skin deeply, cause wrinkles and long-lasting damage. UVB rays burn the outer layer of your skin and, in other words, cause sunburn. The best sunscreen will be broad-spectrum, which provides protection against both UVA and UVB. Understanding SPF SPF stands for sun protection factor, which measures how well a sunscreen protects against UVB rays (remember, only UVB rays cause sunburn). For everyday use, dermatologists recommend wearing a minimum SPF of 30, which blocks about 97% of UVB rays (again, remember, no sunscreen blocks 100%). You should apply a good sunscreen and reapply every two hours at a minimum. Picking the Correct Formula For oily or acne-prone skin: Choose gel or matte sunscreens that are oil-free. For dry skin: Use moisturizing creams that help the skin feel hydrated. For sensitive skin: Mineral sunscreens, use zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, they are gentle and effective. Common Misconceptions About Sunscreens Many believe that sunscreen is only needed if it’s sunny out (harmful rays penetrate clouds and glass). Darker skin tones often feel that sunscreen is unnecessary (every skin color is susceptible to sun damage/skin cancer). Everyone needs to use it daily. Extra Tips for Protection In addition to using sunscreen, wear protective clothing, sunglasses, and wide-brimmed hats when outside. Find shade when possible, especially during peak hours 10am-4pm, when the sun’s rays are strongest. Closing Thoughts Sunscreen is the best protection for your skin against short and long-term sun exposure and skin damage. Apply it daily without regard for weather or seasons. If you’re ever curious about brands (Is Sun Bum Sunscreen Safe?), as I mentioned above, read the labels, look at the ingredients, and check with a dermatologist if unsure. The right sunscreen, used correctly, will keep your skin healthy, looking young, and protected from the sun for many years.  | |
