As a rule, it ranges from two to thirty. It is worthwhile to understand, the higher the SPF, the longer you can stay in the sun without harm to health. To get the exact time to stay under the sun, multiply the factor of the protection factor by twenty minutes.

The choice of SPF is necessary depending on the type of skin:

1. People with dark or slightly tanned skin can safely take creams with a protective factor of 2-4.
2. If you are sunbathing for several days and you never get burns, you can choose creams with SPF 5-10.

Which sunblock is best for the baby?

The development of baby skin is gradual. Only in three years of life the cells in the epidermis are finally formed, which are responsible for the production of a special substance - melanin. Too much ultraviolet light can do much harm to the child's body. Up to three years, you should always keep the baby from the sun, and from three years allowed to use special sunburn creams.

There are also special creams for children. Rely on well-known companies that have long been engaged in such products: Bybchen, Chikko, Mustella, Grinmama, Sanosan, My sun. Many effective sunscreen creams for babies are also available from such manufacturers: Avon, Biokon, Garnier.

Use during pregnancy

In pregnancy, it is best to use a tanning cream based on minerals that does not penetrate deeply into the skin and does not cause irritation. It is very important that the remedy has a high level of protection for SPF and PPD, since the skin of a pregnant woman is more prone to sunburn.

It is important to apply sunscreen during pregnancy, at least 15 minutes before exposure to the sun. This is done to ensure that its components have time to act and create a protective barrier on the skin. Do not save the drug, apply it fairly thick. It is very important to repeat the application every two hours or after bathing.

Harm from sunscreens

The ideal remedy for the sun should block all the ultraviolet rays that pass through the layers of the epidermis. In order for the cream to work properly, it should be on the skin for at least three hours and work so that no chemicals are formed which are very harmful to the human body. What harm can the cream cause from sunburn to our skin?

1. Do not hope that the sunscreen will save you from skin cancer. According to studies conducted in 2007 by the Sanitary Inspection for the Quality of Food and Drug Administration, there is no evidence of their effectiveness.
2. Some studies have shown that melanoma develops more often in those people who use sunburn creams.
3. Too much protection for SPF can lead to a decrease in the amount of vitamin D in the body.
4. As part of some creams you can find vitamin A, which increases the risk of getting cancer.

Allergy to sunblock

Usually, an allergy to a sunburn cream can manifest as allergic contact dermatitis or contact photoallergies. The first kind develops, if the person puts a cream from sunburn on an integument. Within 2 hours after application, the skin begins to turn red and itch. As a rule, the inflammation has the form of blisters or rashes. Also open wounds may appear.

Photoallergy is manifested, approximately, the same way. But it appears only after the interaction of the applied cream with the sun's rays. Allergic reactions can be caused by the following components: oxybenzone, PABA, avobenzone. Usually, the inflammation very quickly passes (day or two days). To calm the itching, it is necessary to wash the cream off the body well. Irritation helps to remove compresses and special lotions. For the removal of inflammation, corticosteroids can be prescribed. This allergy is very rare.

Storage conditions and shelf life
