* SPF Headsup *

♥ All sunscreen labels list a sun protection factor (SPF). 
♥ SPF is a measurement of how much protection the sunscreen offers from the UVB rays that cause sunburn.
♥ A few sunscreen labels also list a "PA" ranking, which refers to the amount of protection the sunscreen offers from the UVA rays that may cause long-term skin damage.
♥ PA rankings are listed as PA+, PA++ or PA+++. The more +'s, the more protection from UVA rays.
♥ For maximum protection from both UVA and UVB rays, choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen that contains avobenzone, oxybenzone, mexoryl, zinc oxide or titanium dioxide.
♥ Apply sunscreen liberally 30 minutes before going outdoors and reapply every two hours.

♥ Most importantly remember to apply the sunscreen as a top layer on ur skin. i.e. apply a moisturiser first and then the sunscreen.

Takecare
