“It heals and cripples” – this proverb perfectly describes the effect of the sun on a person.

With the sun's rays, our skin acquires a beautiful bronze hue, and the body is supplied with vitamin D.

However, direct exposure to UV rays can cause burns and photoaging.

That's why it's worth making sure that your cosmetic bag always contains a cream with SPF. How to choose it?

In this matter, you should be guided by the individual characteristics of your skin.

So, if you are one of those people who has very light skin, light eyes and possibly freckles, rarely tans and often gets sunburned, you should stock up on a product with protection of at least SPF 35.

Those with fair skin who tan well but still have a risk of getting burned will benefit from a protection of 20-25 SPF. As a rule, such people have light or dark eyes and hair that is blond to medium brown.

But those with dark skin that tans well will need SPF 15 or higher.
