Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to Your Frequently Asked Questions
Is SPF 50 too high for the face?
It is estimated that sunscreen with a level of SPF 50 is capable of filtering out around 98% of UVB rays, with approximately 2% reaching the skin. SPF 30, on the other hand, filters out 96.7% of UVB rays.¹ While the difference may seem insignificant, every boost of protection can contribute to the overall health and appearance of your skin.
How long does SPF 50 sunscreen last on the face?
It is estimated that the efficacy of an SPF 50 facial sunscreen is approximately 2 hours. However, if you are working inside away from direct sunlight, you may not need to re-apply this often. If you are performing any physical activities that cause you to sweat, you may need to apply sunscreen sooner than every 2 hours.
Is Ultra Light Daily UV Defense good for sensitive skin?
Our ultra light sunscreen has been created for all skin types, including sensitive skin. One of the key ingredients in Ultra Light Daily UV Defense SPF 50 PA++++ is Vitamin E which is typically used in moisturising skincare products to nourish the skin. This SPF 50 sunscreen is also formulated with glycerin – a well-known humectant that helps lock moisture into the skin, making it suitable for individuals prone to sensitivity and dryness.
How does sunscreen help with anti-ageing?
UVB rays penetrate the skin's outermost layer, causing sunburn and eventual photodamage. Conversely, UVA rays penetrate deeper layers of the skin and are one of the primary contributors to premature skin ageing. SPF 50 sunscreen effectively acts as a shield between your skin and UV rays, helping to reduce visible signs of ageing like fine lines and wrinkles, dullness, dark spots, sun spots and loss of elasticity.
How often should you apply sunscreen?
SPF 50 facial sunscreen should be applied every morning approximately 20 minutes before sun exposure. However, sunscreen should also be re-applied every 2 hours or after any activities that denigrate the efficacy of your SPF such as swimming, sweating, playing sport or towel-drying the skin.²
