SUN SCREEN LOTION

What is sunscreen, and why is it important? -

Sunscreen is a lotion, spray, or gel designed to protect the skin from harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays. It helps prevent sunburn, skin cancer, and premature aging caused by sun exposure.

What does SPF mean? +

SPF (Sun Protection Factor) indicates how well the sunscreen protects against UVB rays, which are responsible for sunburn. For example, SPF 30 blocks approximately 97% of UVB rays.

What’s the difference between UVA and UVB rays? +

UVA rays penetrate deeper into the skin, causing aging and long-term damage.
UVB rays are responsible for sunburn and contribute to skin cancer.

A broad-spectrum sunscreen protects against both.

How often should I reapply sunscreen? +

Reapply every 2 hours, or immediately after swimming, sweating, or towel-drying.

How much sunscreen should I apply? +

Use about 1 ounce (a shot glass full) for your entire body. Apply liberally to all exposed skin, including often-missed spots like ears, neck, and feet.

Can I skip sunscreen on cloudy days? +

No. Up to 80% of UV rays can penetrate through clouds. Sunscreen is essential even on overcast days.

Is sunscreen safe for sensitive skin? +

Yes, but choose a sunscreen labeled "for sensitive skin" or containing mineral filters like zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, which are gentler.

Can I use sunscreen on babies? +

For babies under 6 months, avoid direct sunlight and use protective clothing. For older babies, choose sunscreens formulated for sensitive skin.

What’s the difference between chemical and mineral sunscreens? +

Chemical sunscreens absorb UV rays and convert them into heat (e.g., avobenzone, oxybenzone).
Mineral sunscreens (or physical sunscreens) block UV rays by reflecting them (e.g., zinc oxide, titanium dioxide).

Mineral sunscreens are often preferred for sensitive skin.

Does sunscreen prevent tanning? +

It reduces tanning by protecting the skin from UV rays, but it may not completely prevent it. To avoid tanning, use sunscreen with a higher SPF and reapply frequently.

Can I use sunscreen under makeup? +

Yes. Apply sunscreen as the last step in your skincare routine, before applying makeup. Look for makeup products with SPF for added protection.

Is a higher SPF better? +

Higher SPF offers more protection, but the difference becomes minimal after SPF 30 (97% UVB protection). SPF 50 blocks 98% of UVB rays. Reapplication is more critical than choosing SPF beyond 50.

Do I need sunscreen indoors? +

Yes, if you’re near windows, as UVA rays can penetrate glass. Use sunscreen if you’re exposed to sunlight indoors.

Can sunscreen expire? +

Yes, check the expiration date. Expired sunscreen may not provide effective protection.

How long should I wait after applying sunscreen before going outside? +

Wait 15–30 minutes after applying chemical sunscreen to allow it to absorb. Mineral sunscreens work immediately.

What happens if I don’t use sunscreen? +

Without sunscreen, you’re more prone to sunburn, premature aging, hyperpigmentation, and an increased risk of skin cancer.

Does water-resistant mean waterproof? +

No. Water-resistant sunscreens protect for a limited time during water exposure (40–80 minutes). Reapply after swimming.

Can I use sunscreen every day? +

Yes! Daily use of sunscreen is crucial to protect against cumulative sun damage.
