1. What SPF should I use daily?

• For most people, SPF 30 or higher with broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection is recommended. Use SPF 50 for sensitive or fair skin, or when spending extended time outdoors.

2. Do I need sunscreen on cloudy days?

• Yes. Up to 80% of UV rays can pass through clouds, meaning your skin is still at risk of damage even when it’s overcast.

3. How much sunscreen should I apply?

• Use about 2mg per cm² of skin — roughly a shot glass (30ml) for the body and a teaspoon for the face and neck. Reapply every two hours or after swimming, sweating, or towel drying.

4. What does “broad-spectrum” mean?

• Broad-spectrum sunscreens protect against UVA rays (which cause ageing) and UVB rays (which cause burning).

5. Can sunscreen prevent tanning?

• Sunscreen reduces skin damage from UV rays but may still allow a light tan to develop. It helps prevent burning and premature ageing.
