FAQs About Face SPF
1. What SPF number should I use on my face daily?
You should use at least SPF 30 for daily protection. Dermatologists recommend SPF 50 if you spend extended time outdoors, as it blocks about 98% of UVB rays.
2. Do I need to wear SPF if it's cloudy or I'm indoors?
Yes! Up to 80% of UV rays penetrate clouds, and UVA rays (which cause premature ageing) can pass through windows. Daily SPF is essential even when you're inside or on overcast days.
3. How often should I reapply face SPF?
Reapply every two hours if you're outdoors, sweating, or swimming. If you're mostly indoors, applying once in the morning may be enough. Powder or spray SPFs can make reapplication easier over makeup.
4. Can I just use makeup with SPF instead of sunscreen?
No, makeup with SPF isn't enough. You'd need to apply a much thicker layer than usual to get full protection. It's best to apply a dedicated SPF under your makeup.
5. Is there a difference between chemical and mineral (physical) SPF?
Yes! Chemical sunscreens absorb UV rays and convert them into heat, while mineral sunscreens (like zinc oxide or titanium dioxide) create a barrier that reflects UV rays. Mineral SPF is often preferred for sensitive skin.
6. Can SPF prevent wrinkles and ageing?
Absolutely! UV exposure is one of the leading causes of premature ageing, including wrinkles, fine lines, and dark spots. Using SPF daily is one of the best ways to keep your skin looking youthful.
