Absolutely! Here's why it's essential to use Broad Spectrum SPF 30 or higher—plus how to make it part of your daily routine:
🧴 Use Broad Spectrum SPF 30 or Higher – Non-Negotiable Sun Protection
Not all sunscreens offer complete protection. If you want to defend your skin from both burning and aging, Broad Spectrum SPF 30+ is the golden standard.
☀️ What “Broad Spectrum” Really Means:
-
UVB Protection = Blocks the rays that burn your skin.
-
UVA Protection = Blocks the rays that age your skin and penetrate deep into the skin layers.
Only Broad Spectrum formulas protect you from both. If the label doesn’t say “broad spectrum,” you’re leaving your skin vulnerable—especially to UVA damage that causes premature aging.
🛡️ Why SPF 30 or Higher?
-
SPF 15 blocks about 93% of UVB rays
-
SPF 30 blocks 97%
-
SPF 50 blocks about 98%
The difference may seem small, but it adds up—especially when you’re outdoors for hours. Dermatologists recommend SPF 30 or higher for daily use, and SPF 50+ for prolonged sun exposure or sensitive skin.
💡 Daily SPF Tips:
-
Apply 15 Minutes Before Going Outside
Let it absorb before layering makeup or stepping out. -
Use Enough Product
For your face and neck: about a nickel-sized amount or 2 finger lengths. -
Reapply Every 2 Hours
Especially if you're sweating or outdoors. Use SPF powder or spray over makeup. -
Use It Every. Single. Day.
Even on cloudy days or when staying indoors near windows.
🔁 Think of It Like Brushing Your Teeth:
You wouldn’t skip brushing because it’s cloudy, right? Same with SPF—daily protection prevents long-term skin damage and keeps your glow healthy and youthful. ✨
