The Unseen Benefits of Sun Creams

1. Protection Against Harmful UV Rays

The most well-known benefit of sun creams is their ability to protect your skin from harmful UV rays. They act like a superhero’s shield, deflecting UVA and UVB rays that can cause not only sunburn but also premature ageing and, in severe cases, skin cancer. That’s right, and your sun cream is your daily dose of health insurance for your skin!

2. Slows Down Skin Ageing

If the fountain of youth exists, it might just be in your sun cream! Studies suggest that UV rays can speed up the ageing process, leading to wrinkles, fine lines, and age spots. By creating a protective layer, sun creams can slow down skin ageing and keep your skin looking youthful and radiant. Say hello to a younger-looking you!

3. Even Skin Tone

Over time, exposure to the sun can cause skin discoloration and dark spots. Sun creams help prevent these changes, promoting an even skin tone and healthy complexion. So, while the sun is shining brightly, your skin can too!

4. Keeps Skin Healthy

Many sun creams, like ours here at BritainsBeauty, are packed with additional vitamins and antioxidants that nurture your skin while providing sun protection. This means you’re not just shielding your skin from harm but actively promoting its health and vitality. Now, that’s a beauty win-win!

5. Environmentally Friendly

Did you know that some sun creams can harm marine life? But worry not! Our sun creams are eco-friendly and reef-safe. We ensure that your skin’s health doesn’t come at the cost of our planet’s well-being.

 

6. Hydrates Your Skin

Believe it or not, many sun creams, especially our’s at Britains Beauty, also provide excellent hydration. They’re infused with moisturising ingredients that keep your skin supple and prevent dryness, even under the sun’s heat. So, while you’re out and about enjoying a sunny day, your sun cream is hard at work, ensuring your skin remains refreshed, hydrated, and glowing.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I apply sun cream?

It’s recommended to apply sun cream at least 30 minutes before going outside and reapply every two hours or more frequently if you’re swimming or sweating heavily.

What does SPF mean in sun creams?

SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor. It indicates how well a sun cream can protect your skin from harmful UVB rays, which are primarily responsible for sunburns and skin cancer.

What's the difference between UVA and UVB rays?

Both UVA and UVB rays are harmful, but they affect the skin differently. UVA rays penetrate deeper into the skin, causing premature ageing, while UVB rays cause sunburn and can lead to skin cancer.

Can I use sun cream on my face?

Absolutely! However, some people prefer to use a separate sun cream for the face as it tends to be more sensitive than the rest of the body.

What's the difference between physical and chemical sun creams?

Physical sun creams create a physical barrier that reflects UV rays, while chemical sun creams absorb these rays before they can damage your skin. Both types are effective when used correctly.

Are your sun creams suitable for all skin types?

Yes, at BritainsBeauty, we offer sun creams for all skin types, from oily to dry and sensitive.

How much sun cream should I apply?

As a general rule, use about a shot glass full of sun cream for your entire body and a nickel-sized amount for your face.

What's the best SPF to use?

Dermatologists recommend using a sun cream with an SPF of at least 30, which blocks about 97% of UVB rays.

Can I use sun cream on my baby?

It’s safe to use sun cream on babies over six months old. For younger babies, it’s best to keep them out of direct sunlight and use protective clothing.

Can sun cream expire?

Yes, sun cream can expire, and its effectiveness can diminish over time. You’ll find an expiry date printed on the packaging.

Does sun cream prevent tanning?

While sun cream can reduce the likelihood of tanning, it doesn’t prevent it entirely. It primarily helps prevent sunburn and damage that can lead to skin cancer.

Is your sun cream reef-safe?

Yes, our sun creams at BritainsBeauty are environmentally friendly and reef-safe.

Can I wear suncream under makeup?

Definitely! Sun cream can be used as a base for makeup; just allow it to sink into your skin for a few minutes before applying cosmetics.

Can I use sun cream on my sensitive skin?

Yes, we offer specially formulated sun creams for sensitive skin that are hypoallergenic and gentle.

Why is there a whitish cast on my skin after applying sun cream?

This can happen with physical sun creams that contain zinc oxide or titanium dioxide. If you find this bothersome, consider using a chemical sun cream or a tinted physical sun cream.

Is sun cream necessary on a cloudy day?

Yes, up to 80% of UV rays can penetrate through clouds. Hence, it’s important to wear sun cream even on cloudy days.

Can people with dark skin skip sun cream?

While darker skin has more melanin, which provides some natural protection, it’s still crucial to use sun cream to prevent skin damage and skin cancer.

Does sun cream help in preventing wrinkles?

Yes, as sun exposure is a major cause of premature skin ageing, regular use of sun cream can help prevent the formation of wrinkles.

Do I need sun cream indoors?

If you’re near windows, you can still be exposed to UVA rays, which can cause ageing and skin damage. So, using sun cream indoors can be beneficial.

What makes BritainsBeauty sun creams special?
