At last the
beautiful sunny weather we have all been waiting for has arrived! We all know
that we need to be wearing an SPF to protect us against UVA/UVB especially when
we go out in the sun, but what is the difference between an SPF 15 and an SPF
30 or higher?
We believe
that wearing a higher SPF factor will give us more protection from the sun for
longer, when sadly this isn’t the case. Research has shown that we are getting
a higher risk of skin cancer because we are relying on higher factors of sun
cream, thinking that if we have an SPF 30 or higher on that we don’t need to
reapply as often and that we are safe from the sun. When in fact you are more
likely to burn as you’re not reapplying as often as you should!
An SPF 30 or higher contains higher levels of
harmful chemicals such as Organic light-absorbing molecules where it has now
been show that UV irradiation turns a number of them into free radicals, thus
causing the very thing it’s trying to prevent!
We highly
recommend sticking to an SPF 15 and reapplying frequently, we recommend our
clients the Environ RAD SPF15 as this can be used on a daily basis and only
contains a very small component of organic absorbing molecules, instead Environ
RAD contains mostly inert titanium reflectors, and is also loaded with natural
antioxidant vitamins that increase sun protection and assist in fighting free
radicals.
