Sunscreen is the single most important step in any skincare routine. It protects against skin cancer, prevents premature aging, and maintains an even skin tone.

Understanding SPF

SPF (Sun Protection Factor) measures how well a sunscreen protects against UVB rays, which cause sunburn and contribute to skin cancer. SPF 15 blocks about 93% of UVB rays, SPF 30 blocks 97%, and SPF 50 blocks 98%.
