UVA rays reach the deeper layers of the skin: they are responsible for premature aging of the dermis (solar elastosis) and play a role in the appearance of skin cancers. UVB rays attack the superficial layers of the skin, causing sunburn, tanning, hyperpigmentation and most skin cancers.<\/p>\n<p>Visit <strong>SPF<\/strong> (Sun Protection Factor) indicates UVB protection - a minimum SPF 50 is recommended. Visit <strong>UVA logo<\/strong> guarantees UVA protection at least equal to a third of the SPF. The <strong>PPD<\/strong> (2 to 50) and the <strong>PA<\/strong> (1 to 4+) specify the UVA level: a PA++++ corresponds to the highest level of protection.<\/p>\n<div class=\"bd-alert bd-alert-info\">\n      <span class=\"bd-alert-icon\">\ud83d\udd2c<\/span><\/p>\n<div>Not all anti-UVA filters are created equal.

Beyond the SPF, the key is to apply a sufficient quantity (about two fingers for the face) and reapply in the event of prolonged exposure.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"bd-faq-item\">\n<summary>Should I choose a chemical or mineral filter?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"bd-faq-answer\">Chemical filters offer a lighter, less whitening texture, suitable for oily and dark skins. Mineral filters are better suited to sensitive skin, melasma and children, but leave white marks that a tinted version can limit.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"bd-faq-item\">\n<summary>Why does my sunscreen sting my eyes?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"bd-faq-answer\">This inconvenience, common with certain fluid sunscreens, is often linked to filters or components that migrate with perspiration. If a cream systematically stings, it's best to change: several formulas, particularly Asian ones, are reputed not to sting the eyes.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"bd-faq-item\">\n<summary>Are Asian sunscreens better?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"bd-faq-answer\">They are not necessarily better, but designed for everyday use, with light, melting textures that are appreciated for the face. European sunscreens, which are often more moisturizing, are well suited to dry skin or beach use.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"bd-faq-item\">\n<summary>Is sunscreen enough to protect against the sun?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"bd-faq-answer\">No. It's one form of protection among many. You also need to protect your skin with clothing, a hat and sunglasses, limit exposure to hot weather, and reapply. These measures are all the more important for babies and children.<\/div>\n<\/details><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"bd-section\">\n<div class=\"bd-wrap\">\n    <span class=\"bd-section-label\">Further information<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Our guides <em>solar<\/em> detailed<\/h2>\n<div class=\"bd-hub-grid\">\n      <a class=\"bd-hub-card\" href=\"https:\/\/www.beautydecoded.com\/en\/facial-care\/anti-uv-care\/sun-cream\/\"><span class=\"bd-hub-card-tag\">Comparison<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Best sun cream<\/h3>\n<p><span class=\"bd-hub-card-arrow\">Read the guide \u2192<\/span><\/a><br \/>\n      <a class=\"bd-hub-card\" href=\"https:\/\/www.beautydecoded.com\/en\/care-by-skin-type\/oily-skin\/sun-cream-for-oily-skin\/\"><span class=\"bd-hub-card-tag\">Comparison<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Suncare for oily skin<\/h3>\n<p><span class=\"bd-hub-card-arrow\">Read the guide \u2192<\/span><\/a><br \/>\n      <a class=\"bd-hub-card\" href=\"https:\/\/www.beautydecoded.com\/en\/care-by-skin-type\/dry-skin\/sun-cream-for-dry-skin\/\"><span class=\"bd-hub-card-tag\">Comparison<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Suncare for dry skin<\/h3>\n<p><span class=\"bd-hub-card-arrow\">Read the guide \u2192<\/span><\/a><br \/>\n      <a class=\"bd-hub-card\" href=\"https:\/\/www.beautydecoded.com\/en\/care-by-skin-type\/sensitive-skin\/sun-cream\/\"><span class=\"bd-hub-card-tag\">Comparison<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Suncare for sensitive skin<\/h3>\n<p><span class=\"bd-hub-card-arrow\">Read the guide \u2192<\/span><\/a><br \/>\n      <a class=\"bd-hub-card\" href=\"https:\/\/www.beautydecoded.com\/en\/facial-care\/anti-uv-care\/uv-sun-filters\/\"><span class=\"bd-hub-card-tag\">Decoding<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Understanding UV sunscreens<\/h3>\n<p><span class=\"bd-hub-card-arrow\">Read the guide \u2192<\/span><\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<div class=\"bd-sig\">\n  <strong>Dr Sylvain David<\/strong><br \/>\n  <span>Plastic and aesthetic surgeon - Founder of BeautyDecoded<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"bd-disclaimer\">\n<p>Information for educational purposes only.
