The numbering system on SPF can be misleading. It’s logical to assume that SPF 30 provides twice the protection of SPF 15, but it actually only blocks 4% more rays (SPF 15 blocks 93%) and contains a much greater level of potentially harmful chemicals. Many scientists do not recommend anything stronger than SPF 15- 20 because there is minimal advantage from the higher SPFs. High SPFs give a false sense of security, which means people reapply them less frequently and spend longer in the sun, resulting in skin damage.
It’s important to remember that SPF only indicates protection from UVB rays, which cause burning, and not UVA which cause photo-ageing so using a broad spectrum cream which protects against both is key.
To achieve superior protection against the sun, antioxidants need to be incorporated into your skincare regime. Eliminating free radicals generated in the skin from UV exposure, minimising the damaging effects they have on DNA.
Apply an antioxidant sunscreen such as Environ’s RAD. Daily use is essential, as studies indicate that even on cloudy days 80% of radiation from UVA rays breaks through.
