Peculiarities of using sunscreen with SPF in the city

Patients are often mistaken in believing that in the conditions of urban life, sunscreen with SPF & nbsp; do not need to use. Allegedly, the constant presence in the premises in itself protects the skin from the sun. This is true, but even while walking from work to home, the skin has time to be exposed to the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation, so it needs protection even in the city.

In this case,  and if the patient does not have a tendency to pigmentation, she can be recommended a caring day cream and

decorative cosmetics with SPF. You can combine these funds in different ways:

day cream SPF 15 + makeup SPF 30;
day cream SPF 30 + makeup without SPF;
day cream without SPF + single SPF + make-up and so on.

Specialities of using sunscreen with SPF on vacation

Outdoors, especially in the mountains and at sea, the thin, sensitive and delicate skin of the face suffers from ultraviolet radiation in the first place, because it is on the face that the largest amount of sunlight hits. To

protect the delicate skin of the face from the sun on vacation, a regular SPF day cream is not enough, and the skin needs a special sunscreen with a high SPF value. For relaxation, patients should recommend a cream with an SPF of 30 or higher, and it should also contain "broad spectrum" filters: chemical, physical and natural, which will provide optimal protection from the sun.

The correct choice of sunscreen with SPF can be done by a cosmetologist who has sufficient information about these products, as well as a good understanding of the patient's skin type and knows exactly what she needs.

Sunscreen is a must when out and about, and the right sunscreen will provide maximum protection for your skin from the damaging effects of the sun.
