SPF - Keeping healthy skin protected

SPF - The Key to Healthy Skin

SPF (Sun Protection Factor) shields our skin from the harmful effects of the sun's UVB radiation.

What exactly is SPF?

SPF, or Sun Protection Factor, is a numerical measurement used to indicate the level of protection a product provides against UVB rays. For example, an SPF 30 sunscreen allows you to stay in the sun 30 times longer without getting burnt compared to being unprotected. SPF only measures protection against UVB rays, not UVA rays, which penetrate the skin deeper and can contribute to premature aging and skin cancer.

To make sure your skin is well protected against both types of sunrays, you need to look for a product that provides a broad spectrum of coverage.

Many SPF products are formulated with additional skincare benefits, such as hydration, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory ingredients. These added benefits contribute to overall skin health, keeping it nourished, moisturized, and protected.

A multi-tasking product? Tinted moisturizers and BB creams with built-in SPF are an excellent choice. They offer hydration, coverage, and sun protection, streamlining your skincare routine. Look for products with a broad-spectrum SPF to ensure protection against both UVA and UVB rays.





Mineral SPF is a type of sunscreen that uses minerals like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide as its active ingredients. These minerals create a physical barrier on the skin that reflects and scatters UV rays. Mineral SPF provides broad spectrum protection against UVA and UVB, is gentle on the skin, and starts working immediately after application. It is also considered environmentally friendly. However, mineral sunscreens can leave a visible residue on the skin, but you can always cover it up under a lightweight make-up with extra skin care properties.





Using SPF is incredibly important for keeping your skin healthy. With a wide range of options available, incorporating sun protection into your daily skincare routine has never been easier. Remember to choose products with broad-spectrum protection, reapply as recommended, and pair your SPF application with other protective measures like seeking shade and wearing protective clothing because no cream can provide a full protection. By making SPF a non-negotiable part of your skincare regimen, you'll be safeguarding your skin against the sun's harmful rays and embracing a lifetime of healthy and glowing skin.
