Chillax, Let's Talk Sun Safety: Decoding SPF and UV Rays
Hey friend! We're here to talk about the lesser-known aspects of sun protection. No doubt you've heard about protecting your skin from the sun, but do you truly understand the difference between UVA and UVB rays, or the importance of wearing the right SPF factor? Consider this your crash course in sun safety!
Undoubtedly, knowledge is power, particularly when it comes to safeguarding your skin. To help out, we've partnered up with the skincare pros at TEMPLESPA. Together, we'll bring you a simple guide to sun protection and the science behind SPF products.
So, you've likely asked yourself, what's the deal with those three letters and the number next to them? That, my friend, stands for Sun Protection Factor (SPF). Simply put, SPF measures how effectively sunscreen protects your skin from UVB rays. In simpler terms, if a sunscreen has an SPF of 30, it should theoretically take 30 times longer for sun-exposed skin to burn wearing that product compared to none at all.
But, remember, it's not an exact science, and many factors come into play with regard to UVB ray damage. Generally speaking, though, a higher SPF means a longer duration of protection.
Let's shed some light on harmful rays, shall we? You're probably well-acquainted with UVB rays, which are the culprits behind skin burning and the cellular damage linked to most skin cancers. However, it's equally important to guard your skin against UVA light. Unlike UVB rays, UVA radiation gets to every layer of the skin, leading to visible signs of aging, such as wrinkles and sunspots.
Another type of light you may not have thought about is blue or high-energy visible (HEV) light. This light is emitted by the sun and digital devices, and it's become increasingly common to see skincare products designed with HEV protection, such as TEMPLESPA LIFE DEFENCE SPF30, which includes Ginseng Root Extract to help filter blue light and digital pollution.
Don't be fooled into thinking you only need sun protection during sunny days. It's recommended that you practice year-round sun protection, even on overcast days or indoors. That's because environmental aggressors like pollution, HEV light, and smoke also play their part in aging the skin. So, making daily SPF use a habit is the smartest move for a healthy, radiant complexion.
When seeking out SPF products, go for products that offer broad-spectrum protection, can defend against UVA, blue light, and antioxidants to combat environmental damage. Don't forget to protect exposed yet easily ignored areas, such as your scalp or lips, like with TEMPLESPA LIP DEFENCE.
