Elsewhere, it has a PA++++ (Extremely High UVA protection) rating, is water-, sweat- and sand-resistant, and has a non-greasy formula.

You’re exposed to harmful radiation from the sun virtually anytime you’re outside or near a window that has sunshine. New patient survey results from around the world reveal the impact of the skin condition, hidradenitis suppurativa.A long-sleeved shirt covers more skin and provides more sun protection than a tank top, and a floppy, wide-brimmed hat shields the face better than a baseball hat. Considerations: Keep in mind that the smaller size means it might not provide enough sunscreen for your face or body on your travels, especially if you’re spending a long weekend under a tropical sun. It's especially a great idea for young, active children who may have trouble sitting still for a few minutes while a parent tries to apply sunscreen, and who are often in and out of a pool, lake, or ocean. A higher SPF number means more sun protection, but the higher the number, the smaller the difference.

Under ideal conditions (like in a laboratory), a sunscreen with higher SPF protection and broad-spectrum coverage offers more protection against sunburn, UVA damage and DNA damage than comparable products with lower SPF values. Using sunscreen is an important way to reduce negative side effects from harmful UVA and UVB radiation from the sun. The amount of sunscreen used in tests to produce the SPF number is 2 mg of lotion on every square centimeter of exposed skin, or around 6 full teaspoons to cover the body of an average adult. The advice is for all sunscreens to be applied two hourly and more often if you sweat or have been in water.Some products will have PA system (often used in Japan) and some will use the term “Broadspectrum” as in the US. Spray sunscreen: Sprays are used mostly for their convenience however these should be sprayed onto the skin until it appears wet and then rubbed in with your hands – so actually, if used correctly, it may not be as convenient as you would imagine. Sunscreens with SPF 30, 50, 70, or 100 offer different levels of defense against the sun’s dangerous UV rays. But before you grab your calculator and head for the beach, you should know that this equation is not always accurate.

Same goes for certain scenarios, such as hiking or skiing at high altitude or vacationing near the equator. SPF 30 and SPF 50 offer excellent protection for everyday use, while SPF 70 and SPF 100 provide higher levels of defense for intense sun exposure or sensitive skin.
