Photoprotection

Why use Sunscreen?

Solar radiation can cause irreparable damage to the skin, from visible signs like blemishes and wrinkles to more serious problems like skin cancer. Using sunscreen protects against the harmful effects of UVA and UVB rays, preventing premature aging and maintaining skin health.

When and how to use Sunscreen?

According to dermatologists' recommendations:

• Daily use: Even on cloudy or cold days, UV radiation penetrates clouds and can cause skin damage.
• Reapplication: Sunscreen should be reapplied every 2-3 hours, especially after swimming, sweating, or prolonged sun exposure.
• Correct amount: For the face, neck, and ears, use the equivalent of a teaspoon, uniformly covering all exposed areas.

Understand the types of Sun Protection

Chemical Sunscreen:

Absorbs solar radiation, transforming it into harmless energy for the skin. Ideal for those who prefer light and translucent formulas, suitable for daily use.

Physical (Mineral) Sunscreen:

Creates a barrier on the skin's surface, reflecting and scattering sun rays. It is suitable for sensitive skin or people with intolerance to chemical filters, providing safe and effective protection.

What do SPF and PPD mean?

• SPF (Sun Protection Factor): Measures the protection time against UVB rays. For example, with SPF 50, the skin is protected 50 times longer than without protection.
• PPD (Persistent Pigment Darkening): Represents protection against UVA rays, which are responsible for premature aging and skin darkening.
