Traveling Soon? Here’s How Much SPF You Actually Need, According to Experts

Experts remind us all the time: Wear your sunscreen daily, especially when you know you’re going to be outdoors and exposed to the sun. But how do sunscreens work and how much do you really need? Because apparently, there is a right way to apply it, and many of us are doing it wrong.

May 27 is National Sunscreen Day, and in recognition of this day, let’s talk about the important component in sunscreen that helps protect our skin: SPF.

Short for “Sun Protection Factor,” think of SPF as your skin’s superhero shield against the sun. Basically, SPF tells you how well a sunscreen can protect your skin from the harmful effects of the sun’s rays.

The number you see next to the word “SPF” on product labels is its rating. The higher the SPF number, the more UVB protection you get. It’s also important to note that while most sunscreens offer UVB protection, it’s highly recommended to opt for broad-spectrum sunscreens which also provide sufficient UVA protection.

So if you’re going on an adventure, make sure to pack a broad-spectrum sunscreen with the highest SPF possible for the best skin protection. This is why we love Beach Hut sunscreens. Not only does the brand offer broad-spectrum sunscreens with SPF 100++—unlike other sunscreens, Beach Hut products are non-sticky and feel light on the skin. No white cast either, so you don’t look like a ghost frolicking on the beach!

Here are some of our favorite Beach Hut sunscreens with SPF 100++:

As with any sunscreen though, it’s still important to complement it with shade and protective clothing (e.g. wide-brimmed hats, sunglasses, rash guards, etc.). No sunscreen can protect you 100% from the sun’s rays, especially if you don’t apply (and reapply) it properly.

Many people think that the higher the SPF, the longer you can stay under the sun without reapplying. That is not true! For the best protection, Beach Hut gave the following tips:

  1. Apply your sunscreen 15-20 minutes before going out under the sun.
  2. Make sure to apply sunscreen generously over all exposed areas of your skin, not forgetting your ears, neck, face, and the tops of your hands and feet.
  3. Reapply every two hours, and after swimming or sweating (even if it’s under two hours since you applied).

Have fun on your next adventure, and don’t forget to pack your Beach Hut sunscreens for the best protection under the sun.
