RECOMMENDATIONS

Avoid excessive sun exposure, especially between 12:00 PM and 4:00 PM · Protect yourself with a hat, sunglasses, and a shirt · Allow it to fully absorb and avoid contact with fabrics and hard surfaces to prevent staining.

PRECAUTIONS

Applying less than the recommended amount significantly reduces protection · Keep babies and small children out of direct sunlight · Excessive sun exposure is a major health risk, as sunscreen does not provide 100% protection from the sun · Do not apply directly to the eyes or on areas of skin with wounds · Avoid contact with eyes · Do not ingest · For external use only · Keep out of reach of children.

Important:

The level of protection against UVB rays (not 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 against erythema (redness).

Every skin type needs a specific level of protection. According to scientists, the average natural protection time for different skin types is estimated at 10 minutes, so 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, without submerging in water, an SPF 50 provides protection for almost 8 hours.

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

Other protective measures such as hats, umbrellas, shirts, and avoiding peak sun hours are just as important, if not more!

Take care of your skin during the first sun exposures. UVA and UVB rays are very harmful; skin that burns is not healthy skin, and long sun exposure between 12:00 PM and 4:00 PM is not recommended.

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

Levels of Protection:

a) Very high: 50+

b) High: 30-50

c) Moderate: 15-25

d) Low: 6-10

Apply a sufficient amount

All of this, of course, with proper adherence (apply 2mg/cm² and reapply every 2-3 hours).

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

Sunscreen is not everything

Sun cream is a complement to other measures for protecting ourselves from UV rays

Sun protection factor: the higher the better

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

A melanoma is no joke, and therefore, it is best to prevent it while there is still time.

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 solar filters themselves are chemicals) that could penetrate the skin and reach the baby's bloodstream.
