What does SPF mean on sunscreen? How to choose the right sun protection factor?

SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor, a rating that measures protection against UVB rays responsible for sunburn. Higher SPF numbers (SPF 30, SPF 50+) provide greater protection against sunburn, while lower SPF numbers (SPF 15) offer less protection. To choose the right SPF, consider your skin type, exposure duration, and sun intensity. Fair skin typically requires higher SPF protection. Always apply sunscreen generously and reapply regularly for optimal protection.

What’s the difference between SPF30 and SPF50 sunscreen?

The difference between SPF30 and SPF50 lies in the amount of UV radiation that reaches the skin. SPF30 filters around 97% of UV rays, while SPF50 filters about 98%. SPF30 is well suited for everyday urban use, where sun exposure is more intermittent throughout the day (commuting, office, indoor environments, etc.). For prolonged sun exposure such as at the beach, in the mountains, or during outdoor activities, we recommend choosing SPF50 protection instead. Our Mattifying Face Moisturizer SFP30 is ideal for daily use.

What is the difference between UVA and UVB rays and their effects on skin?

UVA and UVB are two types of ultraviolet (UV) rays. There are actually three types in total: UVA, UVB, and UVC. UVC rays are filtered by the ozone layer, which is why we are naturally protected from them. UVA rays account for about 95% of the UV rays that reach the Earth’s surface. They penetrate deep into the skin and contribute to dark spots, wrinkles, and loss of firmness, making them primarily responsible for premature skin aging. Easy way to remember: A = Aging. UVB rays make up around 5% of the UV rays that reach the Earth’s surface, as part of them is already filtered by the atmosphere. They affect the upper layers of the skin and are responsible for sunburns, burns, and inflammation. UVB rays are also the most closely linked to skin cancer. Easy way to remember: B = Burns.

How often should you reapply moisturizer with SPF sunscreen protection?

Moisturizer with SPF should be reapplied every 2 hours to maintain effective sun protection throughout the day. Apply the Mattifying Face Moisturizer SPF30 in the morning to clean skin, then reapply regularly, especially during prolonged sun exposure, after sweating, or after wiping the face. This routine ensures continuous protection against harmful ultraviolet rays and maintains optimal skincare benefits.

Is the Mattifying Face Moisturizer SPF30 suitable for outdoor activities at the beach or mountains?

The Mattifying Face Moisturizer SPF30 is formulated for daily urban use and is not designed for prolonged intense sun exposure. For beach or mountain activities, where UV exposure is continuous and intensified by reflection, we recommend using one of our SPF50+ sun protection for optimal coverage. The Mattifying Face Moisturizer SPF30 remains ideal for your daily urban skincare routine.
