How to choose the right sunscreen?
"Live, laugh, WEAR SUNSCREEN!"
Regardless of your skin type, it's important to shield your skin from the sun. It's not up for discussion why we ought to wear sunscreen. But it's not easy to choose the right sunscreen. There's an explanation of why people despise things; being chalky, greasy, and just all-around annoying.
But what kind of sunscreen to use? That might be a question that's been ringing in your head! But don't you worry. We are right here! Here, we have compiled a list of 4 tips to make your sunscreen use better and productive, and certainly less annoying.
Broad Spectrum
Choose a sunscreen covered by a "broad spectrum." Sunscreens guard against all UVA and UVB rays with this mark. Both sunscreen materials guard against UVB radiation, the major source of skin cancers, and sunburn. UVA rays do, however, often lead to skin cancer and premature aging. It is possible to mark a "broad spectrum" for products that pass a certain test. Products that are not broad spectrum must be warned that they only protect against sunburn, not skin cancer or skin aging.
Sun Protection Factor
SPF is a measure of how much UVB light can filter out from a sunscreen. An SPF of at least 30 is recommended by dermatologists. About 93 percent of UVB rays are blocked by SPF 15, while about 97 percent of UVB rays are blocked by SPF 30. An SPF of 30 or higher is recommended by the ADA. Applying adequate sunscreen to every exposed area of skin every day is necessary. We recommend putting a coat of SPF 30 all over the body for a half hour before leaving home on days you will be outdoors for a long period of time and then reasserting every two hours. It's smart to grab your sunscreen any time you get out of the pool while you're swimming.
Skin Type
Make sure that your sunscreen is labeled as 'non-comedogenic' if you have acne or oily skin, which means that it's been shown not to block pores. Look for sunscreen or sunscreen moisturizers that contain hydrating ingredients if you have dry skin.
Choose physical or mineral sunscreen for delicate skin. Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide are physical sunscreen features that shield the skin; these two components will not hurt or sting the eyes. Sitting on top of the skin, they form a shield that will protect you.
Water Resistance
After a certain time (either 40 or 80 minutes) in water or when sweating, 'Water-Resistant Sunscreens' maintain their specified SPF strength. If the sunscreen still covers the SPF written on the label after submersion into the hot bubbling water, then the sunscreen will make a water-resistant argument. So check your sunscreen if it works for 40 minutes or 80 minutes before going out in sun, or swimming.
Just because a sunscreen is called 'water-resistant: 40 minutes' does not indicate that for 40 minutes you can just sit in the water. It basically means that you may begin to see a decrease in SPF safety after 40 minutes in the pool, and you may need to reapply sunscreen to retain its original SPF value.
