Glamor starts with
Sun Protection!
Our skin protects us from the day we enter this beautiful world, so PoolBar believes we should give it some love back and take care of it!
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!
