Which SPF is the best?
Sunscreen helps protect the skin from the sun’s harmful UV rays in two ways. Some formulations absorb the UV light before it can reach the skin while some reflect the light away from the body. SPF or Sun Protection Factor is the factor that indicates how effective a sunscreen is in protecting your skin from the UVA and UVB rays. A journal published in NCBI recommends using sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher. Products with SPF 30 can provide longer and higher protection against the sun’s harmful rays. If you’re searching for a moisturizer with SPF, look for factors like “Broad-spectrum” and “PA+”, ranging from ‘+’ to ‘++++’. The finest sunscreens and face moisturizers with SPF are labelled as “Broad-spectrum”, which means they protect the skin from UVA and UVB rays. A water and sweat-resistant day cream with SPF is an added plus. -
Which SPF is best for Indian skin?
Sunlight is common in many parts of India, making it necessary to wear sunscreen. For Indian skin, it is advisable to choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15. SPF or Sun Protection Factor indicates how effective a sunscreen is in protecting the skin from harmful UVB rays. When it comes to SPF, the higher, the better. PA is the factor indicating the product’s ability to protect the skin from UVA rays. This measurement ranges from “+” to “++++”. For Indian skin, the best sunscreen or Face cream with SPF is the one with certified labels of a non-comedogenic, broad-spectrum, PA++++, SPF 15 or higher formula. Furthermore, you can find sunscreen depending on your skin type and preferences like water-resistant, no white cast, etc. -
Which is better, SPF 30 or 50?
While it is true that sunscreen with a higher SPF provides higher sun protection, it is important to understand that SPF 50 or 30 are not drastically better than SPF 15. When left unprotected, if the skin would normally burn within 10 minutes, SPF 15 multiplies that number of 15, shielding your skin from UV rays for 150 minutes without burning. While SPF 15 filters out 93% of UVB rays, SPF 30 sunscreen filters out 97% and SPF 50 filters out 98% of the UVB rays. When choosing a sunscreen for Indian weather, it is best to choose one with a minimum SPF of 15. SPF 30 sunscreen for the face or SPF 50 can be preferred if you are going to be out in the heavy-duty sun for a prolonged period. Just remember to reapply face cream with sunscreen every two hours along with extra precautions like wearing a hat, full-coverage clothes, sunglasses, etc. -
How long does 30 SPF sunscreen last?
Recent experiments have shown that sunscreen ideally remains on the skin at the desired SPF for as long as 8 hours after a single application. However, in the real world when you are physically active and the likelihood of sweating, water immersion and friction against clothes is high, it is advised to reapply sunscreen every 2 hours. For better protection, it is also prudent to wait 15-30 minutes after applying the sunscreen to step out in the sun. -
Should I wear sunscreen every day?
Sun’s UV rays are potent and spending just 15 minutes outside in the sun can cause skin damage and potentially skin cancer in the long term. Applying sunscreen to sun-exposed areas every day is necessary, not excessive. Even on a cooler day when the sky is cloudy and the sun is hiding or on a rainy day, it is important to apply sunscreen. A UV Index of 3 or more indicates that your skin needs sun protection. WHO shares that a UV Index of 8 or above indicates that sunscreen and wearing a hat is a must during midday hours. -
How much SPF is needed for the face?
There are no international standards for specified sunscreen dosage. However, NCBI suggests a method that allows users to apply sunscreen adequately so as to achieve the desired level of sun protection. You can use the “fingerprint unit” to measure the right amount of cream to be applied. It is a strip of product squeezed onto the index finger, from the distal crease to the fingertip. Sunscreen should be applied on all sun-exposed areas, including the face, neck, arms, ears, hands, feet and behind the neck. You can apply approximately two strips of sunscreen i.e. squeeze out the product on both the index and middle fingers. The application of “two fingers” of sunscreen should provide enough doses for adequate sun protection. -
Can I use SPF moisturizer at night?
While there's no harm in using an SPF moisturizer at night, it's generally unnecessary. SPF is designed to protect the skin from UV radiation, which is not a concern during the night. Instead, focus on using a good quality moisturizer at night that addresses other skin concerns like dryness, ageing or acne. -
