Sun Milk Drops SPF50 (Face)

Think of it like a sponge and a shield. Chemical sunscreens act like a sponge and ABSORB UV light. Whereas physical sunscreens act more like a shield and DEFLECT the sun's rays (that’s why you sometimes hear them being referred to as a physical sunscreen).

Sunscreens should be "broad-spectrum”, meaning they have UVA and UVB protection. Rays that come from the sun fall into a number of different wavelengths. The SPF on the bottle mainly gives us information about UVB, which is the wavelength of light which causes burning and is responsible for skin cancers. We know that other wavelengths of light, particularly UVA, are detrimental to the skin, causing ageing and wrinkling.

SPF, or "sun protection factor," indicates how much longer skin can be exposed to the sun without burning compared to its natural protection. Dermatologists recommend using an SPF of at least 30, which blocks approximately 97% of UVB rays. While higher SPFs offer slightly increased protection, no sunscreen can block 100% of UVB rays. Therefore, applying an antioxidant serum underneath sunscreen is beneficial, as it helps neutralize free radicals from any UV exposure that penetrates the sunscreen barrier. It is important to note that higher SPF values do not extend the duration of protection. Regardless of the SPF level, sunscreen must be reapplied approximately every two hours, even on cloudy days, and after swimming or sweating. Many individuals apply only about 50% of the recommended amount, reducing effectiveness. Using a higher SPF can help compensate for this under-application, ensuring better protection against UV damage.
