Sunscreen Myths Busted: What You Need to Know About SPF | |
Sunscreen is among the most essential skincare products to keep your skin healthy and youthful—but it’s also one of the most misunderstood. Misconceptions about SPF (Sun Protection Factor) often lead people to misuse it, or to not recognize its importance. Below are some of the most common myths about sunscreen and the facts you need to know. 1. Myth: You Need Sunscreen Only on Sunny Days Fact: UV rays are present year-round—even during cloudy or rainy days. Up to 80 percent of UV rays can penetrate clouds and windows, so your skin is still being exposed while indoors and when you are driving. A good daily sunscreen is necessary every day, no matter the weather, to help maintain youthful skin and protect you from skin cancer. 2. Myth: Darker Skin Doesn’t Need Sunscreen Fact: Darker skin does contain more melanin, which offers some natural protection, but this does not mean individuals with darker skin do not get UV damage. Everyone, regardless of skin tone, can obtain a sunburn, hyperpigment, or skin cancer. SPF is necessary for anyone and everyone, every day. 3. Misconception: Higher SPF Equates to Longer Protection. Truth: SPF 50 does not provide sun security for an extended length of time. There is only a minimal difference between SPF 30 and SPF 50, meaning both will require reapplication every two hours, or earlier if you have been swimming, sweating, or towel drying. What is most valuable is using a sunscreen harmoniously in your daily routine and reapplying as needed. 4. Misconception: Makeup with SPF is Enough. Truth: Yes, foundations, and/or moisturizers that contain SPF provides some protection, but it cannot replace a standalone sunscreen. The amount of makeup a person typically applies is not enough to cover to protect fully. Make sure you always put on a sunscreen before applying any makeup to guarantee you are protected. 5. Misconception: All Sunscreens are the Same. Truth: There can be a wide variance of formulas. Some have ingredients that are too harsh for sensitive skin and/or can hurt coral reef systems. A good question to ask is, "is Sun Bum sunscreen safe?" Certain mineral-based varieties made by the Sun Bum brand can be gentle on sensitive skin and reef safe, but just like every other sunscreen, you will want to check the ingredient list for your personal skin type and environmental impact. In conclusion, sunscreen goes beyond being sometime you just apply in the summer. It's a basic requirement for healthy skin throughout the year. By understanding the realities behind sunscreen use, you can make the most informed decisions about your sunscreen choices and be assured that your SPF regiment is actually providing protection from damage to your Skin and Health from aging and long-term health threats. Ultimately, sunscreen provides your best defense against the sun and time!  | |
