Most women choose sunscreen by looking at one thing:
SPF.
But SPF only tells you part of the story.
☀️ UVB is linked to sunburn and contributes to skin cancer risk.
✨ UVA penetrates deeper and contributes to premature ageing, pigmentation, and skin damage.
A good sunscreen should protect against both.
When choosing sunscreen, don't just look for SPF50. Look for a recognised UVA protection rating too.
🇬🇧 UK/European sunscreens:
✅ SPF rating
✅ UVA circle / UVA stars
🇰🇷 Korean sunscreens: ✅ SPF50+
✅ PA++++ for UVA protection
And remember, the best sunscreen is the one you will actually wear consistently.
Go and check yours 👀
