How to Choose the Right SPF for Your Skin
With summer just around the corner, protecting your skin from harmful UV rays should be at the top of your skincare routine. But with so many sunscreens available, choosing the right SPF can feel overwhelming. Should you go for SPF 30, SPF 50, or something even higher? And what about skin type—does it really matter?
In this guide, we’ll break down everything you need to know about SPF and help you find the perfect sunscreen for your skin. Plus, we’ll introduce you to UV Doux Sunscreen SPF 30, a dermatologist-recommended option that offers broad-spectrum protection without clogging pores or feeling greasy.
🌞 What Does SPF Really Mean?
SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor, and it measures how well a sunscreen protects your skin from UVB rays, the ones responsible for sunburn. Here’s how SPF works:
- SPF 15 blocks about 93% of UVB rays
- SPF 30 blocks about 97% of UVB rays
- SPF 50 blocks about 98% of UVB rays
- SPF 100 blocks about 99% of UVB rays
While SPF 50 offers slightly more protection than SPF 30, the difference is minimal. The key is to reapply every two hours, especially if you’re sweating or swimming.
🧴 How to Choose the Right SPF for Your Skin Type
