These facts will help ensure your skin is well-protected:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. The sun emits two types of rays that reach your skin, UVA and UVB. What\u2019s the difference between the two?<\/strong><br \/>\nUltraviolet A (UVA) rays emit the same amount of radiation from sunrise to sunset, 365 days a year. Ultraviolet B (UVB) rays are stronger in the summer, especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Are UVA and UVB rays equally harmful to skin?<\/strong><br \/>\nYes, but they affect it in different ways. UVB rays are responsible for sunburn and skin redness. (Think \u201cB\u201d for \u201cburning.\u201d) They cause inflammation, surface dryness and excess dry skin buildup.<\/p>\n<p>UVA rays are weaker than UVB rays but pass further into your skin. They stimulate excess pigment, resulting in dark marks, age spots and dullness. UVAs also break down collagen and elastin, causing lines, wrinkles and sagging. UVA rays can penetrate glass, which means they harm your skin even while indoors.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. What does SPF stand for, and how does it work?<\/strong><br \/>\nSPF is short for \u201cSun Protection Factor.\u201d The higher the SPF, the more protection. But exactly how long a sunscreen protects you depends on your skin color and its tolerance to UVB rays.<\/p>\n<p>To get a sense of how long you can stay in the sun, multiply your sunscreen\u2019s SPF number by the amount of time it takes your skin to burn in the sun.<\/p>\n<p>If your skin turns red in 10 minutes without sun protection, your math would look like this:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 SPF 15 x 10 minutes = 150 minutes (2 \u00bd hours) without getting burned<br \/>\n\u2022 SPF 30 x 10 minutes = 300 minutes (5 hours) without getting burned<\/p>\n<p>\u2026but there\u2019s a little more to it than this. First, no sunscreen can block out 100% of the sun\u2019s rays. Since you can\u2019t rely on sunscreen for complete protection, be sure to cover up your body and wear a big hat and sunglasses.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. What\u2019s the difference between physical sunscreen and chemical sunscreen?<\/strong><br \/>\nThe two types of sunscreens protect skin in different ways and have different properties. Physical sunscreens, such as zinc oxide, reflect and scatter light and are gentle on skin \u2014 which is why Rodan + Fields <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rodanandfields.com\/shop\/unblemish-regimen\/p\/HUNRJ001\">UNBLEMISH<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rodanandfields.com\/shop\/soothe-regimen\/p\/SORG001\">SOOTHE<\/a> sunscreens are physical sunscreens. Chemical screens, such as avobenzone, absorb light and blend well with more ingredients. Rodan + Fields <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rodanandfields.com\/shop\/reverse-regimen\/p\/HRVRGG01\">REVERSE<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rodanandfields.com\/shop\/redefine-regimen\/p\/HAAGR\">REDEFINE<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rodanandfields.com\/collection\/c\/essentials\">ESSENTIALS<\/a> sunscreens are chemical sunscreens.<\/p>\n<p>Whether physical or chemical, all Rodan + Fields broad-spectrum sunscreens are formulated to protect against damage from both UVA and UVB rays.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. How much sunscreen do I need?<\/strong><br \/>\nMore than you probably think! Apply one tablespoon of sunscreen to your face and one ounce \u2014 the amount that would fill a shot glass \u2014 to your body for adequate sun protection.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6. How frequently should I reapply sunscreen?<\/strong><br \/>\nOne application of sunscreen won\u2019t protect your skin for the entire day. You should reapply sunscreen every two hours \u2014 more frequently if you\u2019ve been in the water. This is true even if you\u2019re using a sunscreen with a high SPF.<\/p>\n<p>Now that you\u2019re armed with sun-care knowledge, forward this post to a friend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How much do you know about sun safety?
