The Truth About Sunscreen and Spf
Summer is fast approaching and the best destination is the beach, but before you plan to get that perfect tan, be sure to use a sunscreen that protects you from both UVA and UVB rays of the sun.
There are so many sunscreen prodcts on the market, some expensive and some are cheap, but whether they are expensive or cheap, read the label and choose the one that can protect you from both UVB and UVA rays of the sun. In most sunscreen products, they only protect you from UVB rays that cause skin cancer. Protection from UVA rays is important too because these rays are the ones that causes premature aging of the skin, so UVB protection is not enough. Sunscreen manufacturers are now on a race on who can come up with the highest number of sun protection factor (SPF) in their product. Some came up with SPF 70+, 85, and 100+.

According to Dr. Barbara A. Gilchrest, a dermatology professor at Boston UniversitySchool of Medicine, “A sunscreen’s SPF, or sun protection factor, measures how much the product shields the sun’s shorter-wave ultraviolet B rays, known as UVB radiation, which can cause sunburn. If adequately applied, sunscreens with sky-high SPFs offer slightly better protection against lobster-red burns than an SPF 30. But they don’t necessarily offer stellar protection against the more deeply penetrating ultraviolet A radiation, or so-called aging rays.”
Dr. Elma D. Baron, an assistant professor of dermatology at Case Western Reserve University who sees patients at hospitals in Cleveland, said “Just walking down the drugstore aisle and seeing a SPF 90 or 95, they assume, ‘This is what I need.” But that’s not necessarily the case. No SPF, not even 100+, offers 100 percent protection. What’s more, both UVA and UVB radiation can lead to skin cancer, which is why dermatologists now advise using sunscreens with an SPF of at least 15 and UVA-fighting ingredients like an avobenzone that doesn’t degrade in light or Mexoryl SX.

The difference in UVB protection between an SPF 100 and SPF 50 is marginal. Far from offering double the blockage, SPF 100 blocks 99 percent of UVB rays, while SPF 50 blocks 98 percent. (SPF 30, that old-timer, holds its own, deflecting 96.7 percent).

The number of SPF doesn’t really matter; it’s the amount of application that matters. To achieve the SPF indicated on the label of the sunscreen lotion that you bought you have to consume the whole content of the bottle. You can do this by re-applying the lotion on your skin every 30 minutes or every time you sweat and after swimming. Applying only half the amount of what’s inside the bottle wouldn’t give you half of the SPF that is indicated on the label but rather, the protection you get is way less than that.
So before planning to achieve that perfect tan, be sure to achieve first the needed sun protection for your skin
