1. Not All Sunscreens Are Created Equal
When it comes to sun protection, not every SPF product offers complete coverage. To protect your skin from both UVA (aging) and UVB (burning) rays, always choose a broad spectrum sunscreen. Look for ingredients like Avobenzone, Zinc Oxide, or Titanium Dioxide to ensure full-spectrum defense.
2. Chemical vs. Physical Sunscreens: What’s the Difference?
-
Chemical sunscreens absorb UV rays and tend to feel lighter on the skin. They’re ideal for daily wear and active lifestyles.
✅ Try: Prisma Protect SPF 30 – a multitasking moisturizer with light-activated broad spectrum protection. -
Physical (mineral) sunscreens sit on the skin’s surface and reflect UV rays. They offer added coverage and are great for sensitive skin.
✅ Try: Porescreen SPF 40 – a blurring, tinted sunscreen that protects while enhancing skin tone.
3. A Base Tan Is Not Sun Protection
There’s no such thing as a “safe tan.” Tanning is your skin’s response to UV damage. Instead of relying on a base tan, protect your skin with a high-quality SPF every day.
4. Sunscreen Isn’t Just for Summer
UV damage happens year-round, even on cloudy days or indoors through windows and artificial lighting. Daily SPF use can prevent up to 90% of photoaging.
✅ Try: Dynamic Skin Recovery SPF 50 – a 3-in-1 moisturizer that hydrates, firms, and protects.
5. You’re Probably Not Using Enough SPF
Most people under-apply sunscreen. Use a shot glass full for your body and a quarter-sized amount for your face. Reapply every two hours, especially after swimming or sweating.
