Higher Sun Factor

[Alisonmorgan]

Should I be using an increased Sun factor on any miles I have? I use Sun face protection cream already but should it be higher?

[Dr Juber Hafiji]

Dear Alison,

Depending on your skin type and sensitivity to the sun, I would recommend minimum SPF 15 on your face but ideally 30 would be better.

Hope that helps!

Yes I agree. SPF 30 with 4 star uva protection is often what dermatologists recommend

[Dr Anton Alexandroff]

I completely agree with my colleagues. I recommend to use SPF50 sunscreen when you are on holidays.

I hope this is helpful.
With Best Wishes,
