Why Sunscreen?
Sunscreen filters harmful UV rays before they get to your skin to avoid sunburn. UV rays cause aging and skin cancer. Sunscreen helps lower your risk of skin cancer and helps avoid dark spots and wrinkles from sun exposure. It’s essential to check the active ingredients on the sunscreen label to know if it contains approved physical or chemical blockers. Physical sunscreen ingredients act as a reflective barrier and scatter UV rays. They may include zinc oxide or titanium dioxide. Chemical sunscreens partially absorb into your skin and create a unique chemical reaction that helps prevent UV exposure damage. Some of the most common chemical filters include:
- Oxybenzone
- Avobenzone
- Homosalate
- Octinoxate
- Octisalate
- Octocrylene
What Do SPF Numbers Mean?
The SPF number is the Sun Protection Factor on the label. Your skin is exposed to UVA and UVB rays. That little SPF number tells you how your sunscreen stands up against UVB rays. If you want to stand up to UVA rays, make sure you choose a sunscreen that says “broad spectrum” on the label. Your sunscreen is going to break down and rub off over time. It doesn’t matter what the SPF says, you need to reapply every two hours. This means reapplying even if it says the product is waterproof.
