Why Daily Sunscreen is Essential: Protect Your Skin with Jamele's Range
Sunscreen is a non-negotiable part of daily skincare, shielding you from harmful UV radiation that can lead to premature ageing, sunburns, and even skin cancer. In New Zealand, where the sun is particularly intense and UV exposure is high, protecting your skin is more important than ever.
Modern life also brings risks from blue light exposure (from screens), which can accelerate the breakdown of collagen and elastin and worsen pigmentation. Even if you spend most of your day indoors or working at a desk, wearing sunscreen daily is crucial.
Why Choose Mineral Sunscreens?
Mineral sunscreens are an ideal choice for effective and safe sun protection. They shield against both UVA and UVB radiation using Zinc and Titanium Dioxide. These ingredients offer broad-spectrum protection and are:
Gentle on sensitive skin
Effective immediately upon application
Photostable, meaning they don’t degrade easily in sunlight
Environmentally friendly, posing less risk to marine life and coral reefs
In contrast, chemical sunscreens may not protect against UVA, can contain hormone-disrupting chemicals, and take longer to become effective. Plus, they are more likely to irritate sensitive skin.
What Does SPF Mean?
SPF measures UVB protection, but it doesn’t account for UVA rays. A higher SPF only slightly increases UVB protection, e.g., SPF15 blocks 93% of UVB rays, while SPF50 blocks 98%. To ensure comprehensive coverage, always look for broad-spectrum sunscreens.
Sunscreen Application Tips
Reapply every 1.5–2 hours for consistent protection, especially if swimming or sweating.
For children under 6 months, sunscreen is not recommended; keep them shaded instead.
