SUNday Afternoon
Having a pool in my back yard means I spend most summer days in the sun, swimming with my kids, family and friends. I’ve tried every sunscreen known to man in every strength available, but I have never found one that was non-greasy enough to put on my face yet rich and creamy enough for my body with adequate UVA/UVB protection. That is, until now.
Have you visited the sunscreen aisle at your local drugstore lately? If so, you will notice a wide range of SPF protection, some as high as SPF 70+ and even SPF 85. So does that mean that the higher the SPF level the better the sun protection? While these mega-high SPF products offer a slight advantage at protecting from a sunburn (UVB rays) they don’t necessarily do a stellar job protecting from UVA rays. So how does one know which SPF is best for them? While there isn’t ONE best of the best for everyone, the following information will help you learn more about how sunscreen ratings work, which should in turn make sunscreen shopping easier for you.
