The sunscreen is rated using the SPF (Sun Protection Factor) unit. The higher the SPF value, the better it protects the skin against sun rays. The use of sunscreen is very important, especially during the summer months, as sun exposure is greater. By using sunscreen, you ensure the protection of the skin surface. When choosing a sunscreen, the following considerations should be taken into account: 1. Sun Protection Factor (SPF): It is important to pay attention to the SPF factor when selecting a sunscreen. SPF provides protection as long as the skin is exposed to sunlight. The Maruderm SPF+ 50 Anti-Blemish sunscreen, which has an SPF of 50, acts as a shield against sun rays. 2. Broad-spectrum protection: When selecting a sunscreen, it is important to choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen that protects the skin from both UVA and UVB rays. While UVB rays burn the skin, UVA rays penetrate deeper and cause skin aging.


3. Skin type: When choosing a sunscreen, it is important to select a product that is suitable for your skin type. For example; It is important to choose a mild formulation sunscreen for oily skin.


4. Ingredients: It is important to pay attention to the ingredients of the sunscreen. It is especially important to avoid ingredients that can trigger allergic reactions.


+ 1 important thing: The frequency of use: The frequency of using sunscreen is important for its overall effectiveness. Experts recommend reapplying sunscreen every 2 hours when staying in the sun.

What does the sunscreen contain?


The content of the sunscreen can vary by manufacturer and product. But generally, sunscreens contain several active ingredients that protect the skin from harmful UV radiation. Sunscreens may also include other components, such as skin-nourishing vitamins and antioxidants.  For example, antioxidants like vitamin E and vitamin C protect the skin from the harmful effects of free radicals, while ingredients like retinol and niacinamide improve the skin's appearance and reduce the visibility of skin imperfections.

The content of sunscreen creams can vary depending on the product's SPF value, the needs of the skin, and the manufacturer's preferences. However, they generally contain active ingredients such as moisturizing and nourishing components that protect against the harmful effects of the sun.


The level of protection of sunscreens


The level of protection of sunscreens is determined by the product's SPF (Sun Protection Factor) value. The SPF value indicates how well the sunscreen protects the skin from the harmful UV rays of the sun.The SPF value indicates the level of protection against sunburn caused by harmful UVB rays. To ensure that sunscreen provides effective protection, it is important to apply the right amount frequently, as well as to consider the product's SPF value.


The level of protection offered by sunscreen can vary depending on the SPF value and the needs of the skin. For prolonged sun exposure, a sunscreen with a higher SPF value should be preferred. Additionally, waterproof sunscreen should be prioritized, which should be applied at least 15-30 minutes before sun exposure.


The correct use of sunscreen 


Using sunscreens is very simple and can be applied quickly. Sunscreens are generally in a spreadable form and are quickly absorbed by the skin.
Before applying sunscreen, the skin must first be clean and dry. After that, a sufficient amount of sunscreen should be applied to the skin, which experts say is a quantity equivalent to 2 fingers. It should be evenly distributed over the entire surface of the skin.


Does every sunscreen whiten the skin?


The sun's rays can increase the production of a pigment called melanin in the skin, causing spots and brown patches on the skin. While sunscreens protect the skin from these harmful effects, they also help achieve a more even skin tone. However, some sunscreens may create a white layer on the skin due to the ingredients they contain. This can be particularly noticeable on people with fair skin. 


The Maruderm SPF+ 50 Anti-Blemish sunscreen cream promotes the appearance of even and smooth skin without whitening it. It also targets existing spots with the Alpha Arbutin it contains. As a result, you can achieve a uniform skin tone while protecting the skin from the harmful effects of the sun.
