- Sun Protection One of the most obvious and notable benefits of sunscreen is that it protects your skin against the sun’s broad spectrum of harmful UV rays.
- Keeps Complexion Even Using sunscreen on your face helps to keep your complexion even.

SPF-
SPF stands for sun protection factor. The SPF number tells you how well the product will protect you from UVB, the burning rays of the sun.
• SPF30: blocks 96.7% of ultraviolet radiation
• SPF50: blocks 98% of ultraviolet radiation
Choose a daily sunscreen that is at least SPF30 (if you
have dark skin) or SPF40-50 (if you have light skin)
and has UVA/UVB (ie broad spectrum) coverage.
Types-
There are two basic types of sunscreen:
• Mineral sunscreen (physical blockers):
physically blocks ultraviolet radiation. Includes
sunscreens such as zinc oxide or titanium dioxide.
• Chemical sunscreens: contain special chemicals that absorb ultraviolet radiation. Includes
oxybenzone, avobenzone, ecamsule, padimate O,
PABA, octyl methoxycinnamate, octyl salicylate,
phenylbenzimidazole sulfonic acid, homosalate,
octisalate, octocrylene, octinoxate.
• Choose a non-comedogenic (non-pore clogging)
sunscreen with zinc oxide and/or titanium dioxide
if you have acne-prone skin or if you experience
skin irritation with other chemical-containing
sunscreens. Consult your doctor if sunscreens
cause persistent significant skin irritation, or if you
believe that you have a sunscreen allergy.
