What does it mean that Malibu SPF20 Lotion is a photostable sunscreen?
Malibu SPF20 Lotion is photostable, meaning that is resistant to degradation when exposed to light, such as UV exposure. This lotion will retain its integrity and remain effective in protecting the skin from UV damage and degradation. It is important to use a photostable sunscreen to ensure that it will properly protect you from the sun, without degrading on your skin or in its packaging before use. Without photostability, an SPF may heavily rely on other sun protection factors like hats and full-length clothing to safeguard their integrity.
Why is broad-spectrum protection important in a sunscreen?
Broad-spectrum protection in a sunscreen, such as in Malibu SPF20 Lotion, is important because it protects against both UVA and UVB rays. While UVB rays cause sunburns and damage the skin's outermost layers, UVA rays penetrate more deeply into the skin and can cause premature ageing, wrinkles, and DNA damage that can lead to skin cancer. Until recently, many sunscreens only protected against UVB rays, but with increased knowledge of the dangers of UVA radiation, manufacturers began incorporating ingredients that protect against both types of rays.
How often do I need to reapply Malibu SPF20 Lotion?
Malibu SPF20 Lotion is water resistant meaning that it stays resistant for 40 minutes after which time it needs to be reapplied. Even if not in water the lotion should be reapplied at least every 2 hours effectively protect the skin.
What does the "SPF20" mean in Malibu SPF20 Lotion?
SPF stands for sun protection factor. SPF20 simply means that the lotion allows you to stay 20 times longer in the sun before you experience the sunburn you would experience without any sunscreen. In other words SPF20 blocks out 95% of UV-rays.
