Important:

The level of protection against UVB rays (not against UVA or other types of solar radiation), known as SPF (Sun Protection Factor), is the product's ability to filter out solar rays.

The SPF level indicates how many times the sunscreen increases the skin's natural defense capacity against erythema (redness).

Every skin type needs a specific type of protection. According to scientists, it is estimated that the average natural protection time for different skin types is 10 minutes; therefore, an SPF of 50 will protect our skin for 50 x 10 minutes = 500 minutes, which is 8 hours. In other words, with one application of SPF 50, without going into the water, we are protected for almost 8 hours.

Protection will not last as long if we swim or sweat excessively; therefore, it is recommended to apply the product more frequently in these or similar cases.

Other protective measures, such as hats, parasols, shirts, and avoiding peak sun hours, are just as important or even more so!

You must take care of your skin during initial sun exposure. UVA and UVB rays are very harmful, and skin that burns is not healthy skin, and prolonged sun exposure between 12:00 PM and 4:00 PM is not advisable.

Redness of the skin or solar erythema is primarily caused by UVB rays (though partially by UVA rays as well), so the SPF mainly measures protection against these. Skin cancer has been attributed to UVB rays (although it is known that UVA is equally harmful).

Protection Levels:

a) Very high: 50+

b) High: 30-50

c) Medium: 15-25

d) Low: 6-10

Apply a sufficient amount

All of this, of course, with proper compliance (applying 2mg/cm2 and reapplying every 2-3 hours).

For an average-sized adult, this is equivalent to 6 dessert spoons or a shot glass.

Sunscreen is not everything

Sunscreen is a complement to other measures to protect us from UV rays.

Sun protection factor: the higher, the better.

Any degree of sun exposure increases the risk of skin cancer to a greater or lesser extent.

A melanoma is no joke, and for that reason, it is best to take preventative measures while we still can.

Most of us do not strictly follow the amounts and frequency of application, so, keeping this in mind, dermatologists generally recommend an SPF 50+.

Do not apply sunscreen to babies under 6 months old.

Before 6 months, babies still have immature skin. Sunscreen creams contain chemicals (the sun filters themselves are chemicals) that could penetrate the skin and reach the baby's bloodstream.
