Low SPF Protection
SPF 50 plays a vital role in our beauty routine: it should be applied every day, even in winter or when you’re indoors, to help prevent the risk of melanoma and the premature aging of your skin. So, where does low SPF fit into the picture? Some might think, "Then SPF 15, 10, or 6 creams are pointless!" Actually, low SPF products, while they don’t offer the same strong protection as SPF 50, are still very useful in certain situations. From tanning oils, light sprays, and foaming mousses, at 50 ml you’ll find many low SPF options. Read on to learn more about who can use them and when!
Low SPF Protection (SPF 15, 10, 6): Who and When Should Use It?
First things first: low SPF means products like creams, sprays, mousses, oils, etc., with a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) between 15 and 6. These offer less protection from UVA and UVB rays, making them suitable for certain skin types (darker ones) and specific circumstances, or to be combined with higher SPF products. Let’s explore when low SPF protection is the right choice:
Skin Type 5: If you have dark skin, black hair, and brown eyes, tan quickly, and rarely burn, you’re likely a Type 5. You could opt for SPF 15 or 10 once you’ve already developed a strong tan, during times when you’re not spending too long in direct sun, or during winter and overcast days.
Skin Type 6: If your skin is very dark, with dark brown eyes and black hair, you might be a Type 6. Sunburns are nearly impossible for you, but it’s still essential to protect yourself. You could use SPF 6 in winter or at the end of summer after you've had plenty of sun exposure. But be careful: long-term exposure can increase the risk of skin cancer, which can be hard to detect on very dark skin!
Paired with Higher SPF: Many low SPF products are designed to hydrate, soothe, or nourish your skin, with the added bonus of a little SPF! For example, you might use a tanning oil with low SPF alongside SPF 50 cream to boost your tan while staying protected. Or, go for a hydrating body lotion with low SPF to refresh and moisturize your skin after a day at the beach, giving you light protection during an outdoor dinner when the sun is setting.
