A few things to note about Sunscreen SPF.
With the warmer days ahead, are you contemplating the best time to take a walk in the neighborhood or excited about a weekday trip to the beach and concerned about ways to maintain youthful-looking skin?
Whatever the case, here are a few things about the benefits of a nice injection of sunshine and the importance of sunscreen protection.
1. Natural Mood Booster - A nice injection of sunshine be it streaming into the room, taking it all in on your walk or scenic bike ride is a natural mood booster.
2. SPF stands for Sunscreen Protection Factor.
3. SPF 30 vs. SPF 15. SPF represents the amount of time you are able to enjoy the sun; A higher SPF is not an indication of superior sun protection. The higher the number, the longer the amount of time of protection. SPF 30 or higher can block 97% of UV rays and SPF 15 blocks up to 93% of the UV rays.
4. "Broad Spectrum" sunscreen protects against UVA and UVB rays.
