BlogWhat SPF level should I use?
The most suitable level of protection depends on the ultraviolet index, geographic location, season, and your skin type.
We can group them as follows:
- Low protection: SPF 6 to 14.
- Medium protection: SPF 15 to 29.
- High protection: SPF 30 to 50.
- Very high protection: SPF 50+.
The higher the ultraviolet radiation index, the higher the level of protection. Lighter skin tones require a higher level of protection than darker skin tones. In general, the more you are exposed to sunlight, either in intensity or duration, the more protection you will need (for example, in summer, in mountainous areas, at the beach, in tropical regions, etc.).
SPF isn't the only important factor:
- Apply sunscreen at least 20 minutes before sun exposure.
- Reapply sunscreen every two hours and after swimming in a pool or at the beach.
- Broad-spectrum sunscreens protect against both UVA and UVB radiation and include other beneficial ingredients.
- Different product formulations, offering the same level of protection, may vary in ease of application, texture, water resistance, etc.
