SPF, what does it mean?
SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor. It is a measure of how much protection a sunscreen provides against the sun’s UV rays.
There are two forms of UV rays, UVA and UVB but what do they do to our skin?
UVA can penetrate deeper in the skin and is the culprit for causing wrinkles and premature aging, err no thank you!!
UVB rays are the ones that cause sunburn and make us go “ouch” in the shower!! UVB is also linked to skin cancer.
So what do I wear to stay
Protected and Gorgeous?
The SPF on sunscreen labels measures how well the product protects your skin from UVB rays—the primary cause of sunburn and skin cancer. But what do the different SPF numbers represent, and how do they compare in terms of protection? Let’s explore!

How often should I apply my sunscreen?
Sunscreen should be reapplied a minimum of at least every two hours, regardless of the SPF level, as it can wear or rub off and always reapply after swimming, towel drying and excessive sweating.
Don’t forget your ears, nose and neck too.
To ramp up the level of glamour and protection, lounge under a parasol, particularly between 10 AM and 2 PM, and accessorize with your favorite hat, sunglasses, long-sleeved top, or flowy cover-up!
Should you wear SPF on cloudy days? Absolutely, 90% of the suns rays will pass through the clouds too.
So take care of your skin all year round and make SPF part of your daily ritual!
