Cream, spray, stick, milk or oil: choose a product with SPF

The route for the rest is laid, the hotel is booked, the tickets are bought. The point is small: to decide what means for sun protection should be in a travel cosmetic bag.

Why sun protection is important

The sun is useful, but only in moderation.

Everyone knows that we need the sun like air. It is enough to remember that in sunny weather, the mood is better, and things are done faster, and you feel more cheerful. But everything is good in moderation. If we are talking about a beach holiday or a forced long stay in the sun, we must remember that an excess of ultraviolet radiation causes problems, in particular with the skin. What should be feared?

  • The sun causes photoaging.

  • Ultraviolet contributes to the appearance of age spots.

  • Excessive doses of UV rays lead to dryness and, as a result, wrinkles and loss of tone.

  • Sunburn exacerbates acne.

Here is a far from complete list of manifestations of the aggressive effects of the sun on the skin. Properly built protection, which includes funds with SPF, will help to resist them.

Cream, oil, fluid, milk or stick – find the differences

The fact that the beauty product provides sun protection is indicated by the marking – SPF and PPD. What exactly these letters mean is explained here. The higher the numerical value following the abbreviation, the more reliable the UV protection. The maximum protection factor is SPF 50/50+.

Sun protection products come in a variety of formats.

Today there is no shortage of sun protection products. They are available in different formats and are suitable for different skin types. We are talking about products such as:

  1. cream;

  2. butter;

  3. milk;

  4. spray;

  5. stick.

Sunscreen

A classic product with a fairly rich texture suitable for people with normal, combination and dry skin. Users habitually choose creams most often, but now there are many other products with SPF on the market.

Milk

This product with a light texture is suitable for those with oily and/or problematic skin. Among its advantages are fast absorption, comfortable application, no oily and sticky film on the skin after application.

Oil

If you are a selfie lover, this product is definitely for you. It makes skin look hydrated and radiant. Although this is far from the main advantage of the oil. Modern tanning oils can be moisturizing, waterproof, and also have a high degree of protection.

Spray

Favorite tool for outdoor enthusiasts who do not like to waste time. Just do not forget to spread the texture over the skin with your hands.

Contact

This compact tool will fit in any, even the smallest handbag. As a rule, sticks have a high SPF and are intended for local use. For example, to protect moles and age spots.
