Frequently asked questions

SPF (Sun Protection Factor) measures protection against UVB rays, while PA (Protection Grade of UVA) measures protection against UVA rays, with more pluses indicating higher protection.
How much sunscreen should I apply?
The recommended amount is about two finger-lengths for the face and neck, ensuring adequate coverage for effective protection.
Do I need to wear sunscreen indoors?
Yes, it is advisable to wear sunscreen indoors, especially if you are near windows, as UVA rays can penetrate glass and contribute to skin aging.
