Ultraviolet rays can cause our skin to burn and age. UVA and UVB rays penetrate the epidermis and cause the skin to produce melanin. Melanin then causes skin pigmentation.
Most sunscreens provide protection from UVB, which tends to vary in intensity according to season, altitude, and time of day. UVA can burn through windows and loose-knit clothing to penetrate the dermis, or second layer of the skin, and affect collagen production.
So to provide ultimate SPF protection, use sunscreens that protect against UVA and UVB rays. You must safeguard your skin from damage and premature signs of aging caused by the sun's harmful rays.
According to the Journal of Aesthetic Science, 90 percent of skin aging is sun-related. So safeguard your natural beauty with UVA & UVB Protection SPF 46.

Commonly asked questions and basic information:
Are "sunblocks" and "sunscreens" the same thing?
No. They both provide sun- protection for the skin, but they use different ingredients and mechanisms in achieving that protection. A "sunblock" most commonly uses zinc oxide or titanium oxide to "block" the sun's harmful rays from penetrating the skin by reflecting it.
A "sunscreen" uses minerals and other ingredients to absorb the sun's harmful rays once it gets into the layers of the skin. This helps mitigate sun damage to the skin. Sunscreens are easier to wear than sunblocks as they readily absorb into the skin and do not leave a whitish residue.
However, sunblocks are more advantageous in that they do not allow penetration of the sun into skin. Their ingredients are often more harsh and may leave a whitish residue on the surface of the skin, as they do not absorb easily. This can be a problem when you wish to wear every day, or under makeup. Sunblocks are good for long periods or extreme sun exposure, swimming and sports.
What is "SPF" anyway?
SPF stands for "sun protection factor". The FDA requires all sunscreen products to put their SPF on their label. The SPF reveals the amount of sunburn protection that a sunscreen can provide an average user, when applied correctly. It is recommended that sunscreens have an SPF 15 or more.
Note: An SPF of 30 is NOT twice as strong as an SPF of 15, but rather provides about 97% protection against UVB rays compared to 93% protection against UVB rays for SPF 15.
What are UVB and UVA rays?
The sun's radiation accounts for 90% of skin aging and skin cancers. UV's are the damaging invisible ultraviolet A (UVA) and ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation from the sun. Both cause suntan, sunburn and sun damage. UVB rays are rays that burn the skin during peak sun hours (between 10AM and 2PM) in the summer months and UVA rays- are rays that cause aging year round, regardless of weather.
Can I use my sunscreen for my face on my body too?
Yes. However, sunscreens can be expensive and sunscreens developed especially for the face, even more so: they must use a more advanced science and expensive ingredients because the face tends to be more sensitive than other parts of the body. This is especially true after facial treatments or surgery of any kind. General advice: It is better to use a specially formulated sunscreen for your face on the rest of your body, if you have to, than to use a general allover sunscreen on you face.
