FACE SKIN PROTECTION – SPF

WHAT IS SPF FACTOR?

The SPF factor, or "Sun Protection Factor", is a number used to measure the protection from the sun's rays that a product provides. This factor indicates the product's ability to protect the skin from the harmful effects of ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun. The SPF factor is commonly applied to sunscreen products, including SPF creams, lotions, and sprays.

The SPF factor is expressed numerically, for example, SPF 15, SPF 30, SPF 50, etc. Each number indicates how many times longer you can stay in the sun before getting burned compared to the amount of time you could spend in the sun without protection. For example, if you use an SPF 30 cream and you would normally get sunburned in 10 minutes of exposure to the sun, by using an SPF 30 cream you can stay safe in the sun 30 times longer, ie. 300 minutes (5 hours). This is a theoretical calculation, so it is always better to count the amount of sunscreen applied and its regular and correct application to the skin.

Here are some key points about the SPF factor:

  1. SPF 15: Provides 15 times more protection against sunburn than you would have without protection. This is a good choice for everyday use.
  2. SPF 30: Provides 30 times more protection against burns. It is recommended for longer periods of sun exposure.
  3. SPF 50 and above: These high SPF factors provide the strongest protection and are especially recommended for people with fair skin or during extremely sunny days.

It is important to note that there is no product with an SPF factor that provides complete protection from the sun. Therefore, it is also important to apply other sun protection measures, such as wearing protective clothing and hats and avoiding direct exposure to the sun during the strongest part of the day.

You should also follow the instructions on the product and apply the product regularly to maintain adequate protection from the sun's rays.

 

WHAT IS THE ROLE OF A FACE CREAM WITH SPF FACTOR?

Face creams with a SPF factor are skin care products that play a key role in protecting the skin from the sun's harmful rays. "SPF" stands for "Sun Protection Factor". These creams are used to reduce the damage that the sun can do to the skin and to prevent skin damage caused by UV radiation.

Here are some key facts about SPF face creams:

  1. 1. Protection from UV rays: SPF creams protect the skin from two main types of sun rays - UVA and UVB radiation. UVA rays are responsible for skin aging, while UVB rays cause sunburn.
  2. 2. SPF number: On the packaging of the SPF cream, a number is indicated, for example, SPF 15, SPF 30, SPF 50, etc. This number indicates how long you can stay in the sun before you burn, compared to the time you would need without protection. A higher SPF number means more protection, but not full protection.
  3. Regular application: SPF cream should be applied daily, even when it is cloudy or cold, because the sun's rays penetrate through clouds and windows. It should be applied to all parts of the face and neck exposed to the sun.
  4. Correct application: The cream is usually applied 15-30 minutes before going outside, then reapplied every 2 hours or after swimming and wiping the face with a towel.
  5. Choosing a cream according to skin type: There are SPF creams for different skin types, including those with oily, dry, sensitive and combination skin. You should choose a product that suits your skin type to avoid unwanted side effects such as breakouts or irritation.
  6. Additional benefits: Many SPF creams contain additional ingredients that improve skin hydration, prevent aging, or even have tints to even out the skin.
  7. Prevention of skin cancer: By using SPF creams, you can reduce the risk of developing skin cancer, which can be caused by excessive sun exposure. With the correct use of SPF face creams, you can preserve the health and beauty of your skin, prevent premature aging and reduce the risk of the harmful effects of the sun's rays.
