The sun protection you need
Sunscreen is one of the most important allies we have against the sun's harmful rays. A good sunscreen product offers :
- protection from sunburn and cellular damage
- protection from UVA and UVB rays.
- stimulation of the skin's defenses
- protection against photoaging
- hydration
We must know, however, that the protection offered by sunscreen products is only effective in relation to the SPF index (Sun Protection Factor) they contain.
The sun protection factor, or SPF, represents the degree of protection offered by a cosmetic product in terms of UVB ultraviolet radiation. It starts at zero and goes up to 50 or more. A sunscreen with an index of 30 absorbs 97% of UVB radiation. Scores 6 - 10 offer low protection, 15 - 25 moderate and 30 - 50 high protection.
Avene, Korres, La Roche Posay, Vichy, Bioderma, Frezyderm, Polysianes, Nivea, Apivita, Nuxe and Uriage offer you the best sunscreens offering effective sun protection. Which one will you choose?
