Daily SPF helps protect against UV rays that can cause sunburn, premature ageing, pigmentation, and even skin cancer. UVA rays are present all year round, even on cloudy days, so wearing SPF daily is one of the most effective ways to maintain healthy, youthful-looking skin.

Dermatologists generally recommend SPF 30 or higher for daily use. SPF 30 blocks around 97% of UVB rays, while SPF 50 blocks about 98% — offering slightly higher protection, which is ideal if you spend a lot of time outdoors.

Mineral (physical) sunscreens use zinc oxide or titanium dioxide to reflect UV rays and are great for sensitive skin.

Chemical sunscreens absorb UV rays and transform them into heat. They often have a lighter texture and work well under makeup.

For the face, use about half a teaspoon or two fingers’ length of product. Apply generously and evenly to all exposed areas for effective protection.

Reapply every 2 hours if you’re outdoors, swimming, or sweating. For everyday indoor use, a single morning application is usually enough, but you can top up if you spend time outside during the day.

Some sunscreens are formulated with hydrating ingredients and can double as a moisturiser. However, if you have dry skin, you may still want to apply a separate moisturiser underneath.

Yes — look for non-comedogenic, fragrance-free formulas that won’t clog pores or irritate sensitive skin. Mineral SPFs are often a good choice for those with reactive or breakout-prone skin.
