Sunscreen Myths

With increased worldwide attention to the dangers of excessive sun exposure, millions of people are turning to sunscreens to help protect their skin.  However, many people do not know the difference between various kinds of sunscreens, or what their sun protection factors (SPFs) actually mean.  Buying sunscreen without the knowledge of its uses and benefits may lead you to buy ineffective products.  Taking proper care of your skin is essential to maintaining a youthful, healthy appearance, and choosing appropriate sunscreen is one way to do so.

Popular Sunscreen Myths

With so many products on the shelf, it can be difficult to choose the best sunscreen, and many people do not understand the differences between sunscreens.  Some popular misconceptions about sunscreens include:

  1. All sunscreens are the same, regardless of texture.  Actually, the skin absorbs most sunscreens differently, whether cream, spray, waterproof, or lotion.
  2. SPFs do not actually matter.  The SPF on a sunscreen is essential for warding off dangerous UV/UVB rays from the sun.
  3. Really high SPFs protect your skin the best.  Actually, an SPF 30 protects your skin from about 97% of dangerous rays, while an SPF 100 only increases that percentage by about 1%.

Knowing the truth behind these common misconceptions can help prevent you from choosing the wrong sunscreen.
