Most people enjoy spending time outdoors soaking up the sun’s rays after a bitterly cold winter. They know about the danger of overexposure to ultraviolet radiation and the importance of using sunscreen; however, most people grab the most convenient sun protection from the supermarket shelf without really knowing which ones would be most effective for their skincare goals.
Firstly, let's discuss SPF. If you’ve been to the sunscreen section of the supermarket, you might have seen products with ‘hydrating sunscreen SPF 50,’ but what exactly does this mean? SPF is an acronym for Sun Protection Factor. It tells you how long it would take for the sun to damage your skin. By using an SPF face sunscreen 50, you can be out in the sun 50 times longer than you could be if you chose to forego sun protection completely.
If you’re working in the sun for 8 hours a day as a builder, or you’re running an outdoor beach bar, you might need sun protection with a higher SPF than someone who is going out to lay by the pool for an hour. A sun lotion with SPF 50 or above offers the most protection from skin damage. Our Hydrating Mineral SPF Face & Body lotion offers 30 times more protection from the harmful effects of the sun and is perfect for protecting and enhancing your skin health.
The Benefits of Applying Our Hydrating Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30
Aside from its most well-known and basic use, there are many other reasons why you should apply a hydrating sunscreen to your skin including:
- Prevention of premature ageing.
Damage from the sun can make your skin appear older than it ought to be. Applying our Hydrating Mineral SPF Face & Body lotion can help shield your skin from harmful environmental factors and ensure you can keep your beautiful youthful complexion for longer.
- Reducing the risk of skin cancer.
Even though treatments for skin cancer are getting better, prevention is always better than cure. Apply our sunscreen at least 20 minutes before you go outside and reapply post-swim or run.
- Avoiding uncomfortable and blotchy sun-damaged skin.
Overexposure to the sun can damage your skin’s natural barrier. This can result in dry, flaky, painful, or acne-prone skin. Liberally apply our sunscreen for the face and body to keep your skin hydrated and reduce its chances of getting sore and blotchy.
- Protecting proteins that are responsible for keeping your skin healthy.
Our sunscreen helps to block the sun from reducing the effectiveness of proteins, including collagen, elastin, and keratin. To further enhance your skin's health, consider incorporating hydrolysed collagen benefits into your daily regimen.
- Enhancing cosmetic appeal.
Our sunscreen also doubles up as a suncream for the face that you can leave on. It will give you a radiant glow without looking too greasy. For those looking to explore more about our sun protection products and their benefits, check out our comprehensive guide on mineral sunblock selection.
How Does Our Face & Body Lotion Compare to Other Brands?
I think we can all agree that some sun protection lotions are better than none at all. Whether you choose Ultra Violette hydrating sunscreen, CeraVe hydrating mineral sunscreen, or IKKARI Hydrating Mineral SPF Face & Body cream, you’ll be able to put your mind at ease when you spend time in the sun. However, when you use our sunscreen, you’ll be able to reap the benefits of completely natural ingredients and their protective properties. Our inspiration comes from the lifestyle that is followed by the people of Icaria in Greece, who have lived unusually long lives by relying on Mother Nature to look after them inside and out.
