Sunscreen Gel is a product that reduces the
harmful effects of sun rays on the skin. Sunlight
includes invisible ultraviolet waves. A little UV
light is suitable for vitamin D production, and
prolonged exposure to UV light can harm the body
sunburn and age spots, skin aging, weakened
immunity, and an increased likelihood of skin
cancer. Skin Hydration There are three types of
ultraviolet waves known UVA, UVB and UVC UVA
accelerates skin ageing, causes age spots,
wrinkles, and increases the likelihood of skin
cancer. It penetrates deep into the skin, does
not cause burns. UVB causes sunburn and
increases the likelihood of skin cancer. It is
from UVB rays that skin redness and burning
appear. Most harmful from 1000 to 1600. UVC is
potentially lethal radiation to humans, but it
does not reach the earth's surface because it is
absorbed by the atmosphere. Only UVA and UVB
rays reach human skin. To protect against their
harmful effects, special creams have been
developed.

What is SPF SPF is (sun protection factor) - the
degree of protection from sunlight. It ranges
from 0 to 100 units. The higher the number, the
higher the degree of protection. To protect the
skin from the harmful effects of the sun, you can
use products with a Sunscreen Gel SPF 50.
Products with Sunscreen Gel SPF 50 are intended
for tanning and do not provide sufficient
protection. The lighter the skin and the
prolonged exposure to the sun, the higher the
protection level of the cream should be. The
higher the SPF, the more expensive the product
is. However, the price tag is not always
justified. In most cases, SPF 50 is sufficient to
protect the skin, which protects against 98 of
ultraviolet radiation. Regardless of the cost
and quality of the cream, it must be applied
every 2 hours in sufficient quantity. Therefore,
it makes no sense to buy an expensive cream and
smear it in small portions - the protection will
be worse SPF 15 - protection of 93 of
radiation SPF 30 - protection 97 of
radiation SPF 50 - protection of 98 of
radiation SPF 100 - protection against 99 of
radiation
