Sunscreen oil is a precious ally for enjoying the sun while protecting your skin.
But some myths still circulate, suggesting that sunscreen oil doesn't provide enough protection or that it prevents tanning. Let's find out what's true and what's not.
Myth: sunscreen oil offers no real protection against the sun
Contrary to popular belief, many sunscreen oils are formulated with UV filters that protect the skin from harmful rays. A quality sunscreen oil can offer effective protection against UVA and UVB rays, while nourishing the skin. It is essential, however, to check that the product indicates an appropriate sun protection factor (SPF), and to reapply it regularly.
Myth: Sunscreen oil prevents tanning
Sunscreen oil does not prevent tanning. It acts by attenuating the harmful effects of the sun's rays, while ensuring a gradual, even tan. By applying sunscreen oil, you protect yourself from sunburn without compromising your ability to acquire a golden tan. While tanning is slower, it is also longer-lasting and less aggressive for the skin.
The truth: apply a generous amount of sunscreen oil.
For optimum protection, sunscreen oil should be applied generously and evenly to all exposed areas. Contrary to popular belief, a small amount is not enough to ensure effective protection. Reapplying every two hours, and after every swim, will ensure your skin's optimal defense against the sun.
Educating yourself about the myths and truths surrounding sunscreen oil will help you adopt the right gestures for a safe tan. For those looking for quality, natural sun protection, the sunscreen oils offered by LEVOTRE PARIS combine care and protection for a pleasant, uncompromising tanning experience.
