Sunscreen Products for the Body

Preferably, yes. Although it's possible to apply the same sun creams to both your face and body, it’s recommended that you use distinct formulations. Face sunscreens are specially crafted with unique ingredients, chosen for their gentleness on the skin. These formulations are particularly well-suited for delicate areas, such as the under eyes, and are designed to cater to the sensitivity of facial skin. By choosing a dedicated face sunscreen, you provide tailored protection that aligns with the specific requirements of your complexion.

The SPF rating serves as an indicator of the sun protection provided by sunscreen. It shows the duration it would take for the sun's UV radiation to cause redness on your skin, assuming the product is applied precisely as directed, in comparison to the time it would take without any sunscreen.

To illustrate, SPF 50 implies that it would take 50 times longer for your skin to experience sunburn compared to the scenario where you aren't using any sunscreen. This numerical value essentially quantifies the level of protection offered by the sunscreen against harmful UV rays, emphasising the importance of choosing an appropriate SPF for your individual sun exposure needs.
