SPF protection level – what suitable?

The parameters indicated by the protection of the Sun are indicated in the compositions of cream figures. Such indexes are usually two – SPF (protection against ultraviolet B-rays) and UVA (from A ray). If there is an SPF index on the packaging, you can not doubt the efficiency of the cream. The digit (value) SPF is the time allowed for staying under the sun. For example, when using a cream with SPF, equal to ten, you can be in the sun for about ten o’clock without significant damage to the skin. True, it is worth remembering that specialists are categorically against such a long stay in the sun.

Phototype of leather and selection of protective cream from the sun

Such bright skin is very quickly burning under the sun. Sometimes for this enough ten minutes. Sun cream for such skin should be chosen exclusively with SPF, at least thirty units.
• 2nd Phototype. Light hair and leather. Gray eyes, green and brown. Freckles – very rare phenomenon. To be in the sun. Continuously, such people can no more than fifteen minutes, after which the risk of sunburn is rapidly increasing. SPF value – twenty or thirty days in the hottest days, after you can select a lower parameter.
• 3rdotype. Dark hair (brown, dark blond), dark skin. SPF – from six to fifteen.
• 4thotype. Small skin, brown eyes, brunettes. SPF – from six to ten.
