Sun care

<What does SPF mean?>

The Sun Protection Factor (SPF) represents a time factor that delays the appearance of sunburn under standardised conditions: under sun giving off UVB and UVA rays and for a quantity of 2 mg/cm² of photoprotective product applied on the skin.

If the skin becomes sunburned, without protection, after 15 minutes’ exposure, with a SPF 10 photoprotective product, this will only occur after 10 x 15 minutes, i.e. 150 minutes, under the same exposure conditions.

The SPF allows us to determine the photoprotective capacity of a product so we can choose suitable photoprotection for our phototype and for the conditions of exposure to the sun.
