☀️ What Does SPF Actually Mean?
SPF isn’t just a random number on your sunscreen bottle — it tells you how well your skin is protected from burning UV rays.
Here’s the simple breakdown:
✨ SPF 15 blocks about 93% of UVB rays
✨ SPF 30 blocks about 97%
✨ SPF 50 blocks about 98%
So yes — higher SPF helps, but it’s not double the protection.
Think of SPF like a sun shield for your skin 🛡️
The higher the number, the more UV rays are filtered out before they reach your skin.
But here’s the part most people forget 👇
💧 Sweat
🏊 Swimming
🤳 Touching your face
☀️ Strong sun exposure
All break sunscreen down — which is why reapplying every 2 hours is key.
Your daily skincare non-negotiable:
✔️ Broad spectrum SPF
✔️ Apply enough (most people under-apply!)
✔️ Reapply throughout the day
Healthy skin = protected skin.
