🌞 Why is sunscreen so important?
The sun is essential for our body — it helps produce vitamin D and boosts our mood. But excessive sun exposure can cause premature skin aging, dark spots, sunburn, and an increased risk of skin cancer.
Did you know that up to 80% of UV rays can pass through clouds? That’s why sun protection should be part of your daily routine all year round, even in winter or on cloudy days.
🌈 UV Rays: What Are They?
-
UVA: Penetrate deep into the skin, accelerate aging (wrinkles, spots), and increase cancer risk. Present all year round.
-
UVB: Affect the skin’s surface and cause sunburn.
-
UVC: Blocked by the ozone layer.
🧴 SPF – What Does It Mean?
SPF (Sun Protection Factor) indicates protection against UVB rays.
However, effectiveness depends on the amount applied and regular reapplication. For complete protection, always choose sunscreens with broad-spectrum protection (UVA + UVB).
🧪 Sunscreen Filters: Chemical or Mineral?
-
Chemical (organic) filters: Absorb UV rays and transform them into heat. Lightweight and invisible on the skin.
-
Mineral (physical) filters: Reflect UV rays like a mirror. Perfect for sensitive skin but may leave a slight white cast.
Many sunscreens combine both for optimal protection.
