What is SPF?
What is SPF?" title="What is SPF?" width="600" height="400" itemprop="image" >
SPF stands for sun protection factor and measures the protection a skin care product offers from the sun’s rays. To make things simpler, SPF signifies the amount of time a product like sunscreen can keep your skin protected.
Do you need it throughout the year?
Yes! You might think that the sun shines bright during the summers and while that’s true, what’s also a fact is that we never lose the sun at any point of the year. Hence, you should be relying on SPF at every given point. The sun emits UV rays irrespective of the cold or hot weather. You’d be surprised but UV rays can actually penetrate clouds and even glass. In fact, it is during the winters that your skin is overtly sensitive towards UV rays and that should be reason enough for you to pay attention to SPF all through the year.
How to get your dose of SPF (other than sunscreen)
Vaseline Healthy White Lotion
While you apply sunscreen with a broad spectrum SPF, don’t forget the fact that your daily lotion can also do the job of protecting your skin against the sun. We suggest relying on the Vaseline Healthy White SPF 24 PA++ Lotion that ensures your skin is armed against UV rays.
Lakmé Lip Love Lip Care
We often forget that our lips too need sun protection to prevent pigmentation and darkening. For that, we suggest you rely on the Lakmé Lip Love Lip Care. Its inner core moisturises the lips and the outer core adds colour. Plus, it contains SPF 15 that will protect your puckers from the UV rays.
