Product Information

So if your skin normally reddens after 10 mins in the sun, applying an SPF 15 sunscreen would allow you stay in the sun for 150 mins. The higher the number the longer the protection. However SPF is actually a measure of the degree of protection it gives you from UVB rays and should not be used to determine the length of sun exposure.

Ideally, you want a sun cream that hits the 5-star rating to ensure you’re as covered as can be. How to read an SPF rating An SPF of 30 allows about 3% of UVB to penetrate the skin and SPF 50 about 2%. This does not seem much but can make a big difference in certain skin types.

Lacura Moisturising Sun Spray SPF15. 30 and 50

There's no safe or healthy way to get a tan. A tan does not protect your skin from the sun's harmful effects. We couldn’t believe the price of this sunscreen when we saw it as its amazing value for a huge size. Altruist was developed by a skin cancer surgeon and consultant dermatologist, so it has impeccable credentials. We used this on super oily skin and were relieved to see that this SPF is non-comedogenic and oil-free. Oily skin or not, it's important for everyone to stay hydrated and protected against the sun's harmful rays, and it can be hard to find a product that does both of these things without leaving a greasy film. However, this product does. Paula's Choice is a brand loved for its exfoliants and serums, and this brand-new SPF is bound to be a hit amongst beauty fans and regular folk alike.
