Sunscreens work through scattering, absorbing and/or reflecting ultraviolet rays. They can be categorized into physical sunscreens or chemical sunscreens. They have an SPF and PA label.

SPF is the abbreviation for "sun protection factor", which offers protection from UVB, while PA, the protection grade of UVA, helps guard against UVA.

The bigger the SPF and PA indices are, the stronger the sunscreen will be against ultraviolet rays, if used correctly.

Choose a sunscreen based on your skin type and the activities you take part in.

Sunscreen must be applied at least 15 minutes prior to sun exposure, and usually needs another application every two hours.

Remove sunscreen with make-up remover or cleanser.
