SPF 50+ PA++++ : what does this say about your sunscreen?

If you're a dedicated skincare enthusiast who takes skincare seriously, you have probably seen the term "SPF 50+ PA++++" on your sunscreen bottle. While it may seem like a random combination of letters and numbers, it actually tells you a lot about the level of protection your sunscreen provides. In this blog, we'll break down what each of these terms means and why they're important for your skin.


SPF 50+ :

SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor, and it measures how well a sunscreen protects your skin against UVB rays. UVB rays are responsible for sunburns, and they are also a major contributor to skin cancer. An SPF of 50+ means that the sunscreen can block 98% of UVB rays, which is the highest level of protection that can be claimed. However, it's important to remember that no sunscreen can block 100% of UVB rays, so it's still important to use other protective measures such as seeking shade, wearing protective clothing, and avoiding midday sun exposure. 

PA++++ :

PA is a rating system used in Japan and other Asian countries to measure a sunscreen's level of protection against UVA rays. UVA rays are responsible for premature aging and can cause skin damage deep within the layers of the skin. The more plus signs after PA, the higher the level of protection against UVA rays. A PA rating of ++++ is the highest level of protection available, which means the sunscreen can block over 98% of UVA rays. 

Why is it important to choose a sunscreen with SPF 50+ PA++++? 

Choosing a sunscreen with SPF 50+ PA++++ can help protect your skin from both UVB and UVA rays, which can cause a wide range of skin damage, including premature aging, sunburn, and even skin cancer. While it's important to wear sunscreen every day, choosing a sunscreen with a high level of protection can give you extra peace of mind when spending time in the sun. 

Lukewarm SPF50 Sunscreen offers protection against both UVB and UVA rays. UVB rays, which have a short wavelength and high energy, can cause sunburns, DNA disruptions, and are carcinogenic. While they help in vitamin D3 synthesis, it is essential to protect the skin from their harmful effects using sunscreen. The SPF (Sun Protection Factor) of a sunscreen is its ability to absorb UVB rays, and a higher SPF means that lesser rays can hit the body. With an SPF of 50+, Lukewarm sunscreen is highly effective and blocks over 98% of skin-harming UVB rays. 

To protect against UVA rays, a higher PA (Protection Grade of UVA) rating represents more effectiveness. Lukewarm SPF50 Sunscreen has a PA++++ rating, which shields the skin from 16 times more UVA and Ultra Long UVA rays than without sunscreen. This makes it highly effective in protecting the skin from the harmful effects of UVA radiation. 

In conclusion, SPF 50+ PA++++ is a high level of protection that can help keep your skin safe from both UVB and UVA rays. When choosing a sunscreen, look for one with this level of protection and be sure to apply it generously to all exposed areas of skin. Don't forget to reapply every two hours, and remember that sunscreen is just one part of a comprehensive sun protection strategy. Stay safe and enjoy the sun responsibly!
