How to Choose the Right Sunscreen for Your Skin

SPF, PA, broad spectrum... a simple guide to reading a sunscreen label and choosing what suits your skin type.

September 15, 2026 5 min read

Sunscreen is an essential step in any skincare routine, but the wide range of products can make choosing one confusing.

What does SPF mean?

It measures protection against UVB rays, which cause sunburn. SPF 30 or higher is generally recommended for daily use.

Choose "broad spectrum"

This means the product protects against both UVA and UVB rays, which matters for preventing pigmentation.

Reapply

Reapply sunscreen every two hours when you're in direct sun, and after sweating or swimming.
