SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor. It measures how well a sunscreen protects against UVB rays, which cause sunburn. An SPF of 30 means it would take 30 times longer for your skin to burn than if you weren't wearing sunscreen. For comprehensive protection, always choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen that also protects against UVA rays.
You should reapply sun cream generously every two hours, or more frequently if you've been swimming, sweating heavily, or towel drying. Even water-resistant formulas need regular reapplication to maintain effective protection.
While some adult sun creams may be suitable, it's generally best to use sun care products specifically formulated for children. Kids' sun creams are often designed for sensitive skin, are water-resistant, and come in higher SPF factors to provide maximum protection for delicate skin.
UVA rays contribute to skin ageing, wrinkles, and can increase the risk of skin cancer. UVB rays are the primary cause of sunburn and also contribute to skin cancer. A broad-spectrum sunscreen protects against both types of harmful UV radiation.
Yes, absolutely. Up to 80% of UV rays can penetrate clouds, meaning you're still at risk of sun damage even on overcast days in the UK. Year-round sun protection, especially for exposed areas like your face, is crucial for preventing premature ageing and reducing skin cancer risk.
