Sun Protection FAQs
What does SPF stand for?
SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor. It measures how well a sunscreen protects the skin from UVB rays, which are primarily responsible for sunburn and contribute to skin damage.
Does SPF expire?
Yes, SPF products do expire. Over time, the protective ingredients break down, reducing effectiveness. Using sunscreen within its expiry date helps ensure reliable sun protection.
Does SPF prevent tanning?
SPF reduces tanning by limiting UV exposure, but it does not block it completely. Some tanning can still occur, especially with prolonged sun exposure or inadequate application.
How does SPF work?
SPF works by filtering or absorbing UV radiation before it damages the skin. This reduces the amount of UV that reaches skin cells, helping prevent sunburn and long-term damage.
Does SPF prevent vitamin D absorption?
SPF may slightly reduce vitamin D production in the skin, but normal daily sun exposure and diet usually provide sufficient levels. Sun protection remains essential for skin health.
