We do lot many things to protect our skin from sun ......are they right. Read through & check what you do is right or no !!!!
What SPF level is
sufficient for most skin types?
Skin that is exposed to the sun on a
daily basis should use a day skincare product that contains SPF (Sun Protection
Factor). SPF 8 is adequate for low exposure, SPF 15 is sufficient for
medium exposure. For higher exposure SPF 30 is recommended. All of our Skincare
products contain UVA and UVB protection.
For periods of longer term exposure
(e.g. holidays, beach, outdoor sports), We recommend use of our sun care range
of products which includes products up to SPF 40, and products specifically
formulated for children. For most skin types SPF 15 to 30 should be
adequate, for children’s and adults with sensitive skin SPF of 30 or higher is
recommended.
It is important to apply SPF
products regularly, and to use the recommended dosage for an average adult (5 -
6 teaspoons for a full body application). Direct sun exposure should be
avoided between 11am and 3pm as the sun’s rays are at their strongest at this
time.
Skin Layers Exposed to sun
Our skin is made up of 3 layers
Dermis
Epidermis
Hypodermis
All the three layers are exposed to sun. However different sun rays damage different layer of skin.
Sun rays consists of UVA UVB & UVC rays .
What is the difference
between UVA and UVB?
The rays of the sun that are
damaging to both skin and eyes are the invisible UVA and UVB, both with
wavelengths ≤ 400nm.
UVB causes initial damage to the skin’s outer layer or epidermis, resulting in sunburn. However, UVA rays penetrate deeper into the dermal layers of the skin and can destroy skin fibres, damaging the skin’s elasticity which can cause long-term effects such as premature ageing, wrinkles and hyper-pigmentation.
Oriflame Cosmetics has a comprehensive sun care range, formulated using a broad spectrum of UVA and UVB protection. Oriflame products comply with the latest EU recommendations regarding SPF and UV protection and consumer labeling requirements.
