Can you tan and get brown using SPF50 sunscreen?
Yes, you can. SPF… and the subsequent number indicate how long the cream provides protection against the SUN’s harmful UVA and UVB rays, or how long you can stay in the sun without getting burned. Generally, 1 SPF equals 10-15 minutes. For people with fairer and more sensitive skin, this time may be even less. However, no SPF protects 100% against harmful rays. SPF50 blocks 98% of harmful rays, SPF30 blocks 97% of rays, SPF15 blocks 93% of rays. Despite this, it is recommended to reapply sunscreen at least every two hours, regardless of SPF size, as wind, seawater, and sand can reduce the sunscreen’s protective effect.
Why prefer mineral filters over chemical filters?
Sunscreens with chemical filters contain chemical compounds that absorb into the skin and can harm it. Chemical filters are also found in baby and children’s sunscreens. Creams that are hypoallergenic and dermatologically tested. Some sunscreens contain both chemical and mineral filters. Therefore, we recommend always delving into the ingredients before purchasing sunscreen.
The most well-known chemical sun protection filters and their negative properties besides sun protection:
- octocrylene – when this chemical comes into contact with UV light, it absorbs the rays and generates oxygen radicals that can damage cells and cause mutations. It easily absorbs into the skin and may remain in the organism for a long time. In addition, it may be environmentally toxic.
- oxybenzone – causes skin allergies. Coral-destroying. Affects humans on a hormonal level affecting estrogen production in women and testosterone production in men.
- homosalate – can damage DNA and hormones.
- octinoxate – may cause allergies, dermatitis, and acne.
Why do mineral sunscreens leave a white layer on the skin? Do all mineral sunscreens leave a white layer on the skin?
Mineral sunscreens leave a white layer on the skin because the filters that protect against harmful sun rays like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. The larger the particle diameter, the more likely a white layer remains on the skin. The appearance of a white layer also depends on the other ingredients in the cream. If various oils are used in the cream, it is easier to apply and the formation of a white layer is reduced (a very light layer still remains). However, this same white layer protects you and your children from sunburn and harmful rays. With mineral sunscreens, it’s important to shake the cream before use to combine all the oils and filters! Even if the cream is in a tube, still shake!
