Who is SPF 50+ sunscreen recommended for?
Quick answer
SPF 50+ sunscreen is recommended for people with fair skin, those who burn easily or are prone to dark spots, anyone in the period after a peel or facial, and anyone facing strong sun at the beach or on the slopes. For everyday city life, SPF 30 can be enough for most people.
The difference between SPF 30 and SPF 50+
SPF shows protection against the UVB rays that cause sunburn. Under laboratory conditions SPF 30 blocks about 97 per cent of UVB rays and SPF 50 about 98 per cent. The difference looks small, but it is significant in terms of how much radiation reaches the skin. For UVA protection, also look for "UVA" on the pack.
Who is SPF 50+ recommended for?
- People with fair skin who burn easily in the sun
- Those prone to dark spots and uneven skin tone
- Anyone in the period after AHA/BHA, peels or salon treatments
- People on beach, pool, mountain or ski holidays
- Those who work outdoors for long periods
Is a high SPF enough?
A high SPF does not give the expected protection if it is not applied in sufficient quantity and reapplied. Applying sunscreen generously, reapplying every two hours, staying in the shade at midday and wearing a hat and sunglasses are all part of sun protection.
