The cosmetologist told about the features of choosing SPF for the summer
For the city, it is enough to use SPF 30, and for outdoor activities in the sun or in the mountains, SPF 50 and higher is recommended. Natalia Yamazaki, the manager of the Faceology beauty space, told about this. "Газете.Ru ".
"SPF 30 is sufficient for everyday urban activity. For the beach, outdoor activities in the sun or in the mountains, it is better to choose SPF 50 and higher to provide more reliable skin protection," Yamazaki said.
The expert clarified that when choosing a sunscreen, it is important to take into account not only the SPF level, but also the spectrum of protection against ultraviolet radiation.
"Special attention should be paid to protection from UVA and UVB rays. This is important because both types of radiation have different effects on the skin and can cause photoaging and damage," she added.
According to the expert, the type of filters used in sunscreens also plays a significant role.
"Physical filters work as a reflective barrier and are suitable for sensitive skin, as well as for children's skin. However, they can leave a white trail and require more frequent updates after contact with water," Yamazaki explained.
She also talked about chemical filters and their application features.
The expert noted that chemical filters absorb ultraviolet radiation and convert it into heat, which is then dissipated in the skin, while they have a lighter texture, but take time to start acting and can cause irritation to sensitive skin.
In addition, Yamazaki drew attention to the variety of forms of sunscreens and their purpose depending on the tasks.
"The milk and fluids are suitable for daily use and are quickly absorbed without leaving stickiness. Creams can be moisturizing or mattifying, as well as with a toning effect to even out skin tone," she said.
The specialist added that it is important to apply and update the SPF correctly throughout the day.
"Sunscreen should be applied 15-30 minutes before going out in the sun. It should be updated every 2-3 hours, as well as after bathing, outdoor activities or toweling," Yamazaki emphasized.
