☀️ Is All SPF the Same?
It’s a question we hear a lot, especially at this time of year.
The simple answer is no.
While two products may both say SPF 50 on the bottle, that doesn’t necessarily mean they offer the same level of protection. SPF measures protection against UVB rays, the rays responsible for sunburn, but it’s important to consider UVA protection too. UVA rays can contribute to premature skin ageing and pigmentation changes.
When choosing a sunscreen, look for:
🧴Broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection
🧴SPF 30 or above, ideally SPF 50
🧴A formula you’ll be happy to wear every day
🧴Regular reapplication, especially if you’re outdoors
Protecting your skin isn’t just about avoiding sunburn. Consistent sun protection can help maintain healthy-looking skin and support the results of your skincare routine and professional treatments.
If you’re unsure which SPF is right for you, our team is always happy to offer guidance during your visit.
