In this world there are myths about everything, including the use of sun cream. These 6 myths are the ones we hear most often and understand once and for all that they bring nothing more than harm to your skin.
The higher the SPF, the higher the protection
In reality, it doesn't make that much of a difference. Practically, if you use cream with SPF 30, you will protect 97% of the skin from sun exposure. If you put the cream at 50% you will only protect 1-2% more. Sunscreen does not protect you 100% from UV rays, however even 97-99% is not little.
If it's cloudy/rainy weather, I don't have to put on SPF
Actually, think of it this way: If I can still see and there's light, I should put on SPF. UV rays have no problem penetrating through clouds.
If you put on SPF, the body is not supplied with vitamin D
Most people think so, but in fact, there is no evidence that daily use of sunscreen leads to a decrease in vitamin D in the body.
SPF in makeup is enough for me
No, it's not the same at all. Makeup, even when it contains SPF, will never protect you as well as sunscreen.
Dark skin tones do not need SPF
The sun damages the skin equally and does not make such a selection at all, so everyone should put on sunscreen.
It is enough to put it once a day
SPF should be applied every 2-3 hours in order to protect you from UV rays. Remember, reapplication is the key to protection.
