YOGYAKARTA Wearing sunscreen that contains SPF is important in protecting the skin from the sun. To wear sunscreen, dermatologist Sam Bunting recommends the rules in wearing it. Among them, you can practice the following method below.

In protecting the skin from UVA and UVB rays, choose sunscreen with a broad spectrum SPF. UVA rays cause fine lines, pigmentation, uneven skin texture, large pores, roughness, and loss of collagen. So it's important to choose SPFs with a wide spectrum especially when on vacation to the beach. Solar tape with a broad spectrum means it can significantly protect the skin from UVA and UVB rays.

Sunscreen is divided into two categories. The first is in the form of chemicals with formulas containing materials such as octinoxat and oxybenzon as solar filters, absorbing UV rays to prevent skin damage. Second, physical protection, which is made from minerals and generally contains zinc oxide and titanium dioxide to protect the skin physically and reflect light, and absorb it.

If your skin is sensitive or prone to redness, suffering from rosacea or eczema, generally mineral sunscreen will offer a softer experience because it is carried out according to procedures such as lasers, exfoliation, or post-treatment," said doctor Bunting.

Wearing sunscreen with an SPF only needs to be sufficient. To make sure you put enough good ingredients into your skin, the doctor recommends using 1.25 milliliters to be applied to your face and neck. A very easy method is to apply with a 13-point technique'. This technique is as simple as you can call it, apply 13 different SPF points around your face and rub them together. This method allows you to apply the SPF evenly without being missed in the slightest.

Many people believe that the SPF in the powder base is sufficient to protect against UV rays. But according to doctor Bunting said it is most likely not enough to protect, reported by Vogue, Monday, June 5. He added, this will only provide a little protection. So use sunscreen with the SPF as well as wearing makeup.

Instead of using a low SPF, it is better to use a high SPF which definitely protects the skin well and prevents skin cancer and premature aging. Obviously, the Bunting doctor, PF50 does not only offer 95 percent protection from UV compared to SPF30 which is 93 percent.

That's the rule of using sunscreen that contains SPF. Have you applied it for daily facial skin protection?
