Is SPF15 Enough?

It’s summer!

And with it comes the excitement of going to the beach with the family and with friends! But of course, with all these excitement, we shouldn’t forget to take care of our skin, because we’ve seen how harsh the sun can be to our face and our skin. In fact, even if it’s not summer, we should always remember to put sunscreen on our face, and all the exposed areas of our body as protection against the sun.

How do we know if the sunscreen that we use is really giving us enough protection? Is SPF15 enough? Actually, SPF15 is enough if we will just apply it to our skin properly. Regular application is very important, as well as the right amount. Most often we’re guilty of scrimping on the usage of sunscreens, we just apply it the first time we take a dip in the pool, then forget to re-apply even after staying under the sun for more than 8 hours. Ideally, it should be reapplied every two hours for it to become effective, otherwise, your skin won’t benefit from it.

So, enjoy summer but be sure to be kind to your skin.
