Face Sunscreen

When you live in a country with ample sunshine, ensuring you protect your skin is incredibly important, and one way of defending yourself against the sun’s harmful UVA and UVB rays is by using face sunscreen. Ultraceuticals offers a range of sunscreen products to help protect your skin when you’re out and about. Our skin is our body’s largest organ and is the barrier between our insides and the external environment. It protects us from many harmful chemical pollutants around the clock. We can support our skin by adding face sunscreen to our routine when we’re outside – even on a cloudy day.

UV (ultraviolet) is a type of radiation that is emitted by the sun. There’s the light radiation we can see and the ultraviolet radiation (UVR) that we can’t see. These have different classifications that you’ll often see on sunscreen labels like UVA and UVB. UVA contributes to ageing of the skin and photodamage, while UVB rays tend to cause sunburn.

Face sunscreen is your fierce protector against those harmful UV rays. That’s why we developed our exclusive range of sunscreen to give high protection under sun exposure.

Our products – from our premium cleansers and makeup remover to our moisturisers and especially sunblock for face – are designed to be as lightweight and absorbent for your skin as possible.

Why is it important to use sunscreen?

It’s important to use sun protection when you’re going out in the sun, particularly in the afternoon and particularly on your face. When you want to help protect your skin aside from the usual sun-protective measures like wearing a hat, using a face sunscreen is the next best thing, especially if you’re at the beach or planning to be in the water. 

Using our Ultraceuticals UV sunscreen can aid in the prevention of solar keratosis. Applying sun cream is also one of the best ways to help prevent the signs of premature skin ageing, such as loss of elasticity, fine lines, and wrinkles. 

By wearing facial sun protection and sun-protective clothing, as well as following best practices such as reapplying sunscreen every two hours, you can enjoy the outdoors and all that nature has to offer.

How to choose the right sunscreen for your face?

When it comes to choosing the right sun care, face sunscreen is your first port of call. There’s some terminology to get comfortable with when you’re shopping around for quality sunscreen lotion to protect your skin.

SPF

SPF stands for ‘sun protection factor’ and is used to indicate the average amount of time you can stay out in the sun compared to not using any sunscreen. For example, if you start to experience skin inflammation after fifteen minutes in the sun without sunscreen, SPF 30 will protect you from about 97% of the sun’s UVB rays while SPF 50 will protect you from closer to 98% of those rays. You’ll sometimes notice a ‘+’ sign after the SPF ratings. This indicates that the product will typically last beyond the stated number. SPF50+ sunscreen, for example, must offer at least an SPF of 60 when tested. Different laboratories will test the same batch of sunscreen in slightly different ways, due to the differences in methodology. By testing at SPF 60, it ensures that the product offers an SPF of 50 with a very minimal margin for error.

Broad-spectrum

The term ‘broad-spectrum’ is applied to sunscreens that work on both UVA and UVB waves. 

Water-resistant

This means that the product will continue to help protect you from the sun while you’re in the water or sweating from exercise, but be sure to read how many minutes this is applicable for. Regardless of the minutes of water resistance, sunscreen is strongly recommended to be reapplied every two hours.

When it comes to protecting your skin, a face sunscreen will help ensure that your face is shielded. If you’re not sure which of our products is right for you, book a consultation with one of our skin experts who will recommend the best products for your skin type and your sun protection needs. 

How to properly apply sunscreen to your face?

Squeeze a generous amount of face sunscreen onto your fingers. Then, in gentle circular motions, apply it to your face, ensuring you cover every exposed part of your skin, avoiding contact with your eyes. Ensure the product is completely absorbed by your skin. 

When using our sunscreen products, you should always read the label and follow the directions for use. Don’t forget to reapply the product every two hours to maintain the same level of protection.
