Are You Up To Speed On Your SPF Facts?
How many times have you come across facial makeup and moisturizers that contain SPF and asked yourself what this means? If you aren’t sure how ultraviolet rays and the sun affect your skin, you may want to do your homework as you continue to purchase SPF cosmetics!
SPF stands for sun protection factor, and even though you might commonly associate it with tanning lotion, it’s being seen on more makeup labels. This is because cosmetics experts are realizing the importance of containing SPF in their products to prevent signs of aging in users.
The Skin Cancer Foundation claims that SPF 15 or higher tends to be the most efficient at protecting against the effects of ultraviolet rays, some of which may eventually cause cancer. Everyone age 6 months and older is advised to use some form of sunscreen on exposed areas of their skin on a daily basis.
As you look for new foundations, concealers and lipsticks, consider finding items that specifically say they include SPF. This can give you peace of mind every time you put on your makeup. Furthermore, you may just be able to avoid a few more wrinkles by taking this precautionary measure.
