Q & A: Covering Everything You Need to Know About Daygleamer SPF
Q: Why do you love SPF?
A:SPF is the measure that defends against the sunburn rays of the sun, or UVB rays. The aging rays and the longer deeper penetrating rays of the sun are the UVA rays. “A” for “Aging” and “B” for “Burns”... I encourage the use of products that offer broad spectrum coverage of both UVA and UVB rays….such as our Daygleamer! Regular use of sunscreen can reduce the risk of developing skin cancers by defending against harmful UV radiation. Not only can sunscreen help reduce the risk of developing skin cancer, it can also help prevent accelerated aging that shows up as wrinkles, freckles, age spots and fine lines. SPF with a UVA screen – something that gives broad spectrum protection (both UVA and UVB rays), helps to protect against all these effects by filtering and diffusing UV rays that damage skin cells!
Q: What do you love about Daygleamer Mineral Sunscreen Serum SPF 34?
A:The use of sun protection, like that in Daygleamer, can improve overall skin appearance. Unprotected sun exposure can lead to sunburn, skin irritation from the peeling and dryness, premature aging, and skin cancer! Broad spectrum ultraviolet protection, like that contained in Daygleamer, also can help reduce redness and irritation by protecting against UV damage, which can, in turn, reduce sensitivity of the skin and improve overall texture. Daygleamer is so special because it contains non-nano zinc oxide, a physical and mineral sunscreen ingredient, that forms a barrier on the skin and works by scattering UV radiation, offering broad spectrum protection. Zinc oxide is often considered less irritating to the skin when used as an ingredient in sunscreen. Further, our Daygleamer also contains aloe vera, a rich source of vitamins, as well as brightening and antioxidant benefits with niacinamide.
Q: Why SPF 34 and is it enough?
A:With SPF 34, your skin will have 97% protection from UVB rays, and the fact that this is coming from zinc oxide, a physical sunscreen ingredient, means you will also get that UVA protection and defense as well. While using SPF helps you stay in the sun longer without burning, the American Academy of Dermatology and Dermatologists all recommend reapplication of sunscreen every 2 hours. Why every 2 hours? Sweating, swimming, towel-drying, rubbing, application issues and overall physical wear and tear will all impact the protective capabilities.
