When it comes to sun safety, not all UV protection is created equal.⁠ ☀️⁠
⁠
‘Broad Spectrum’ sunscreens are your gold standard, protecting against both UVA and UVB rays. UVA rays make up around 95% of the UV radiation that reaches Earth, penetrating deep into the dermis where they accelerate aging and contribute to certain skin cancers. UVB rays have more energy and affect the outer layer of the skin, causing sunburn and playing a major role in the development of skin cancers, including malignant melanoma.⁠
⁠
That’s why daily SPF is a true skin health non-negotiable. But how do you know whether SPF 30 or 50 is right for you?⁠
⁠
The difference comes down to how much UV each blocks and how long it protects you for. SPF 30 filters about 97% of UV, while SPF 50 filters around 98% - only a 1% difference, but one that matters over time, especially under the harsh Summer sun.⁠
⁠
Think of it like this: if your skin would burn after 5 minutes without protection, SPF 30 extends that to roughly 150 minutes (5x30) and SPF 50 for around 250 minutes (5x50).⁠
⁠
The real key? Reapply regularly. No matter your SPF, consistent reapplication is the only way to keep your skin truly protected.
