Frequently asked questions
Everything you want to know
Do I need SPF every day, even in winter?
Yes. UVA rays, which cause skin ageing and pigmentation, pass through clouds and glass. SPF isn’t a summer luxury but a daily habit.
Is a day cream with SPF enough?
For a normal day, yes. If you are outdoors all day or on holiday, use a separate sunscreen and reapply every 2 hours.
Which SPF do I need?
SPF 30 is enough for every day. SPF 30 blocks about 97% of UVB rays, SPF 50 about 98%. How much you apply matters more: be generous, including your neck.
Does SPF leave a white cast?
The PCA Skin SPF products have light textures that absorb quickly, with no white cast. They also make a great base under make-up.
