Frequently asked questions
Everything you want to know
Which SPF factor do you need?
For every day, if you’re not outside for long, SPF 30 is enough. SPF 30 blocks about 97% of UVB rays, SPF 50 about 98%. If you’re outdoors a lot, on holiday or have fair skin, choose SPF 50.
Can you use a tinted SPF as a day cream?
Yes. A tinted SPF evens out your complexion, hydrates and protects in 1 step. Ideal if you don’t like heavy make-up.
How much sunscreen should you apply?
For your face, half a teaspoon is the guideline. Most people apply too little and never reach the promised protection. Don’t forget your neck, décolleté, hands and lips.
