An SPF of 30 allows about 3% of UVB to penetrate the skin and SPF 50 about 2%. This does not seem much but can make a big difference in certain skin types. How do I protect against UVA radiation?

Any easy way to remember is UV A= Ageing and UV B = Burning. However both can cause cancers. What does the SPF number mean? Could skin problems be one of the signifiers of what has been branded a “stealth” condition - genetic haemochromatosis? There is no evidence to suggest this. A recent study showed that even with regular and appropriate application of sunscreen there was excellent synthesis of Vitamin D. Helios® by Reverta is different: the natural mineral titanium dioxide provides a shield on the surface of the skin and reflects a large portion of the sun’s UV rays. Titanium dioxide is very stable and does not get broken down in sun light. No chemical reaction takes place when exposed to sun light.Dermatologists Dr Adil Sheraz & Dr Bindi Gaglani are here to help you choose the right sunscreen for your needs.

Natural sunscreens: Sunscreens labelled as natural tend to be mineral based therefore containing zinc or titanium. They are good for immediate protection.The UV star rating is not used in all countries andin factsome countries have no such rating system for UVA protection. Some products will have PA system (often used in Japan) and some will use the term “Broadspectrum” as in the US. Most sunscreens on the market today contain a variety of chemical sunscreens that have been proven in numerous scientific studies to either irritate the skin and to varying degrees are harmful to our health. For example, the UV-absorbing chemical Oxybenzone enhances the skin penetration of other chemical sunscreen ingredients and has been linked to skin irritation and disruption of hormonal balance (acts like estrogen). In addition, most of these chemical sunscreen ingredients will build up in our bodies over time, without being broken down by the liver.

Broad Spectrum: This means that there is protection against both UVA and UVB. Therefore this should be part of any sunscreen you apply. How much sunscreen should I apply? A basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is a type of non-melanoma skin cancer. BCC is the most common type of all skin cancer in the UK. There are nine FDA-approved chemical sunscreen ingredients that are known hormone disruptors. The hormones that are mostly affected by chemical sunscreen ingredients are estrogen, progesterone, testosterone and the thyroid hormones. This can cause serious health problems in the long run, such as premature development in children, gynecomastia in men and infertility. UVA:Accounts for 95% of the radiation that reaches the earth’s surface. This type of radiation can penetrate the skin deeper than UVB and due to its longer wavelength can pass through clouds and glass. It has skin cancer causing potential and also results in premature skin ageing and pigmentation.
As seen in ...
About 67% of British people do not use enough sunscreen. Overall for adults an amount that is equivalent to a full shot glass is adequate. So if your skin normally reddens after 10 mins in the sun, applying an SPF 15 sunscreen would allow you stay in the sun for 150 mins. The higher the number the longer the protection. However SPF is actually a measure of the degree of protection it gives you from UVB rays and should not be used to determine the length of sun exposure. UVC: This has the shortest wavelength and is the most damaging type, however it is completely filtered by the atmosphere and therefore does not reach the earth surface.
