In my life, I have often had to suffer in order to learn some lessons and, above all, to never forget them.
One of the things I wish I had known in my 20s is that SPF doesn't protect against wrinkles. Yes, if you thought that a high SPF factor translates into a high protection against the rays that deport deep into the skin, you are not alone. In fact, the SPF factor only helps against surface rays, or in other words, those that give us embarrassing redness, which for us are the least harmful.
Did you know that most sunscreens on the market today only provide about ? of UVA protection? In fact, for those who seek to be protected all year round and who use the cream in their skincare routine as the best preventer of facial aging, brown spots and wrinkles, the PPD factor is more important which precisely protects against the rays that deport deeply and which unfortunately are not discussed out loud, so that people become aware.
So if an SPF 50 results in a PPD factor of 17 UVA protection, then we are not protected enough! I discovered this when I was first introduced to the new line of sun creams in Albania: Altruist!
Altruist as a firm from the British dermatologist Birne is committed to offering excellence in the protection of the entire spectrum of radiation that penetrates the atmosphere by offering maximum protection with PPD 54 against UVA rays and maximum protection with SPF 50 against UVB rays. How did I get in touch with Altruist, you say. Well, Altruist is the cream that is making a splash all over Western Europe with its brilliant philosophy which basically has the fact that sunscreen doesn't have to be a luxury. If you were drawn to the protection section above, wait until you find out about the cheapest price you've ever seen. After dermatologist Andreë Birne met his friend David Westerbeen Van Eerten in Africa, they decided to create a sunscreen that would lower the incidence of skin cancer by allowing people to use as much sunscreen as possible.
Altruist is also the company that launched the campaign to protect people with albinism in Africa. Profits from the sale of Altruist creams go to subsidize sunscreens that are donated to this very population.
With creams that are fragrance-free, non-sticky, and designed for sensitive skin, Altruist has thought of everyone so that sunscreen is accessible as a must-have resource for everyone, and when we say everyone, we mean everyone. starting from 6-month-old babies up to any age. When you see the face and body SPF formats, you won't just get one for yourself, you'll buy for the whole family and regret all the money you spent earlier. Altruist proved to me once again what the best dermatologists in the world say: a sunscreen doesn't have to be expensive to be good! For me, it is enough to be Altruistic and I am sure!
