SPF50+ ... Do you know what SPF means and how this famous element of sunscreens should affect your decision? Who should use this type of sunscreen?
What does SPF mean? The abbreviation stands for “Sun protection factor”. In short, it determines the time of sun exposure at which the sunscreen product guarantees maximum effectiveness. We show you how long you can enjoy the sun without worries.
-SFP15: 150 minutes of protection.
-SFP30: 300 minutes of effectiveness against the sun’s rays.
–Sun protection factor 50+ : 500 minutes effective against UVB rays.
However, we warn you that during the hottest hours (12-16), this effectiveness is not guaranteed. Therefore, reinforce your sunscreen layer every two hours, or whenever you go swimming or sweating.
Effectiveness against UVB rays
Different protection indices represent different percentages of protection against solar radiation. So keep in mind that:
– SPF 15 blocks 93% of UVB rays;
– SPF30 blocks 97% of UVB rays;
– SPF 50+ blocks 98% of UVB rays;
Finally, we emphasize that SPF50+, considered a very high protection level, is ideal for very light skin or for the first exposures to the sun, when the skin is especially vulnerable to UV rays. However, we again underline the importance of reapplying the care periodically.
