When 30 is the new 15 in sunscreen protection

20.05.12

Each season, out comes a new crop of sunscreens promising to protect our skins from those ageing, damaging rays.

Other than ever-higher SPF [sun protection factor] ratings, it is noticeable that more sunscreens are being marketed as skincare treatments as well as protectants. Label-readers will have also noticed some carry a PA rating, followed by varying numbers of plus signs.

The SPF rating measures UVB protection against the sunlight spectrum responsible for burning, though any "broad spectrum" sunscreen must, by regulation, also deter UVA (ageing and cancer-causing) rays. The PA rating is common in Asia, but not mandatory here and measures the degree of protection against UVA on a scale from one plus sign (or some protection) upward, with PA++ giving moderate UVA protection and PA+++ rated good. As awareness grows about the longer-term and year-round effects of the sun, expect to see more PA ratings.

Then there is the at times confusing issue of what is a sunscreen and what is a moisturiser with sunscreen in it. Remember that a secondary sunscreen will ordinarily not give the same degree of protection as a purpose-designed product (whatever SPF-rated additives it carries) because you would have to apply the likes of an SPF containing foundation with a trowel to build up the coverage.
