Understanding SPF and choosing the right sunscreen for your skin

news.yahoo.co.jp (Japanese)

SPF measures protection against UVB rays, while PA indicates protection against UVA rays. For individuals in their 50s and 60s, choosing sunscreens with moisturizing ingredients is recommended due to decreased skin barrier function. Daily sun protection should involve SPF 30 and PA+++, with adjustments made based on the situation and frequent reapplication. This helps prevent sun damage, premature aging, and skin cancer. Sun exposure can cause sunburn, tanning, dark spots, wrinkles, and dryness. It can also lead to psychological effects like loss of confidence and anxiety about future skin health.
