There are few factors in life that have as much effect on the skin as the sun does. The most accessible thing you can do in the pursuit of youthful, healthy skin is to use a good SPF Day Cream. A SPF Day Cream offers you all the nourishing and soothing properties of a regular moisturizer, with the added bonus of UVA and UVB protection. Want to keep redness and aging at bay, but still enjoy the sun to the fullest? Then a Day Cream with SPF is a must!
What is SPF
SPF stands for “sun protection factor.” Although most men know that the higher the factor, the better the protection against the sun, there is still often confusion about how it exactly works.
The number that follows the word SPF tells you how long it takes for UV radiation to Red your skin versus the time without protection. For example, a sun protection factor of 20 means that it takes you 20 times longer to burn.
As part of a moisturizing SPF cream, it protects you against immediate redness and shields you from the long-term aging effects of excessive sun exposure.
UVA & UVB radiation, the biggest cause of skin aging
Harmful UV radiation (UVA and UVB) from the sun is always present, even when it rains and when it is cloudy. A good anti-aging skincare routine consists of a well-formulated cleanser, Toner, exfoliant, Serum, Eye Cream, and a moisturizing cream.
These skincare products are all important for younger and healthy-looking skin, but none of these products replace the daily necessity for a good SPF cream. You will not achieve the desired result if you do not protect your skin daily against harmful sun radiation.
We at The Alpha Men cannot say it often enough: use a good SPF cream daily, otherwise, there is a great chance that your skin will be damaged by the sun! What if you already have wrinkles and dark spots from years of unprotected sun exposure? Fortunately, it is never too late to protect your skin from this.
Research has shown that men (and women) who started using a broad-spectrum SPF at a later age saw a visible reduction in signs of skin aging. Regardless of your age, daily use of SPF cream is the foundation of an anti-aging skincare routine.
How do you use an SPF and where can you find it?
You use a SPF Day Cream in principle in the same way as any other cream. A thin layer, well spread over your entire Face and possibly your neck, should be sufficient to provide your skin with the right Grooming and sun protection throughout the day.
You have SPF day creams in different factors. For instance, a SPF Day Cream with factor 15 offers mild sun protection. Do you choose factor 30? Then the sun protection factor is already a bit higher. On a hot summer day, when you go to the beach, for example, you can also choose an SPF50 cream. That way, you ensure good protection and can enjoy the sun without worries!
