2018 summer sunscreen selection guide :

Classification of ultraviolet (UV):

First, let’s talk about why you should use sunscreen or other protective measures.

In Summer, UV is strong, overexposure to sun’s rays increases the risk of developing melanoma, the most deadly skin cancer.

Ultraviolet rays can be classified into short-wave, medium-wave and long-wave according to the wavelength. Generally, the longer the wavelength, the deeper the penetration. Short-wave ultraviolet rays are too short, most of it is absorbed by the atmosphere, Under normal circumstances, it will not cause harm to humans.

UV radiation consists mainly of two types of radiation: ultraviolet (UVB) and long-wave ultraviolet (UVA). Ultraviolet (UVB) radiation is the Chief cause of sunburn and contributes to skin cancer. Long-wave ultraviolet (UVA) can penetrate the skin and cause cell damage, which is the loss of collagen and tan and age skin.

Even on cloudy days, with clouds and glass block, and UVA can reach the dermis of the skin. Therefore, proper sun protection should be done whether it is cloudy or sunny. Whether it is going out for a trip, daily commuting, or in the office, sun protection can be said to be the most essential part of skin care. Sunscreen products are also indispensable skin care products for men and women like the facial cleanser.

Next, let’s clarify a basic concept.

Understand SPF and PA+’s meaning during your selection :

SPF is the Sun Protection Factor. The number you see associated with SPF represents the length of time you can stay out in the sun without burning. PA stands for protection grade of UVA, which is based on the prevention of tanning reading at 2-4 hours of sun exposure.

So everyone must consider these two values at the same time, not just seeing one but ignoring the other, or confusing this two.

We give an example to illustrate the specific meaning of these two figures. If a product is labeled with SPF30 and PA+++, so a person, who would normally start to burn in 10 minutes, a UV sunscreen of SPF 30, would allow you to stay out in the sun 30 times longer. That means you could theoretically have 300 minutes of sun protection. A “+” is about 4 hours, then +++, which means that the sunscreen prevention time is 12 hours.

Of course, these values are an ideal numerical, sweat will dilute your sunscreen, other factors may also affect effect, specific use according to the weather and oneself condition to undertake to prevent bask in makeup.

French sunscreens usually have three values, SPF20, 30 and 50. SPF30 and SPF50 are suitable for outdoor, shopping and traveling. If your usual place of work is an office, as is the case with us, it’s fine to use SPF20 indoors.

 

Which texture of sunscreen products to choose

At the same time, the texture of sunscreen products is a key factor to choose. The difference between various types of sunscreen products according to the material is divided into sunscreen, cream, sunscreen emulsion (very rare) and sunscreen spray.

The Texture of sunscreen is relatively thick, suitable for dry skin, it is recommended to use on the face after smearing on the palm, it is more difficult to spread on the body; There is no difference between sunscreen lotion and sun cream, but it is easy to wipe away and can be used on the face and body. As lotion and spray are easy to apply generously and evenly—which is key in order for them to work effectively, the spray is more convenient to use, but are inconsistent and thinner needs to be taken more care of. By the way, if you have acne skin, you can pay attention to products with the anti-acne logo,  which are suitable for acne skin.

Next, we will recommend you the sunscreen products of various international brands that are super easy to use.
