Does SPF 30 vs. SPF 50 feel like choosing between green or red sauce on your burrito? We get it and we’ve got you. Here's what changes between the two and when to bump up.
Is 70 the new 50? When it comes to SPF, we love them both. From daily coverage in peak summer to all-out protection if your surf trip turns tropical (lucky you),if you’re comparing SPF 50 vs 70, or wondering does SPF 70 work better than 50, the answer comes down to how intense your sun exposure is.
We’re going for bronzed, not burned, and choosing between SPF 15 vs. SPF 30 can be the difference between the two. Here's what to know before you, ahem, reach for the bottle.
If SPF 30 is a 3/2 spring suit, SPF 70 is a 4/3 with booties and a hood. So, is SPF 70 better than SPF 30? Sometimes. It depends on how much sun you’re getting and how your skin handles it. Here's what changes between the two and when to suit up.
So, can you put sunscreen on a new tattoo? Short answer: no, not on a fresh one. After a tattoo, your skin is doing serious repair work and sunscreen isn't built for broken skin. The good news is there's a right way to protect your new piece while it heals and a simple routine to keep it looking good for a long time once it's healed.
So, is SPF 30 enough? For most people on most days, yes. SPF 30 blocks about 97% of UVB and is the daily minimum most dermatologists recommend, which makes it the easy everyday option and a great addition to your beach bag. Still, SPF isn’t one-size-fits-all, and if you’re accounting for for long beach days, intense UV, or skin that burns easily, you may want a higher level of protection. Here's when SPF 30 has you handled and when it's worth reaching for more.
