Foundation with SPF

It is impossible to do without a foundation for a modern woman, and there is no need for it. Today's tonal foundations and powders have a light texture for summer, allowing the skin to "breathe" and protecting it from the damaging effects of UV radiation. Therefore, to use the tone in the summer is not just a whim, but a necessity to preserve the beauty and youthfulness of the skin. When buying a foundation with a protective UV factor, it is important to choose wisely: the product should be suitable for the skin type. For example, for a fatty type, choose a composition without oil, and for a dry one, you cannot do without this “fatty” component, otherwise you can show all the small flakes and further dry the surface.

Sun Protection Factor (SPF) - This is a factor that absorbs ultraviolet rays to skin contact. There are several degrees of protection from the weakest (5-15) to high (90-100). The lighter the skin, the higher the degree of protection. This "golden" rule will allow the epidermis to keep young for a long time and prevent its redness. Choosing sunscreen cream, stop at at least SPF 30, because the skin of the face is so thin and delicate that a lower degree of protection cannot cope with the aggressive summer sun. And for the winter, you can choose something less "heavy" - SPF 15-20 will be just right. Note that the higher the UV protection, the higher the density of the foundation and the more likely it is to lie down with an uneven layer or interfere for the whole day, causing sensations of clogged pores and even heaviness on the face. But for such a problem there is a solution, replace the word “cream” with “fluid”, and choose a tinting agent with sun protection with a light texture. Perhaps it will not fully tint the skin, but it will not create a mask effect or cause irritation of the epidermis.

The figure on the package of protective cream means how much you can enjoy the sunlight and not burn. For a start, note how much time passes before you blush. Suppose 5 minutes and a choice of a room with an SPF of 10: 5 x 10 = 50 minutes of quiet sun exposure. But we choose a cream for tinting the face and additional protection against harmful UV rays, which means that this arithmetic is not entirely appropriate when choosing a tonal framework, and yet, Let's talk about the SPF value in numbers:

• 2-4 - the lowest protectionwhich prevents about 50-75% of solar radiation from entering;
• 5-10 - averageprotects up to 85% UV;
• 10-20 - high degree with protection up to 90%;
• 20-30 - intenseabsorbing up to 97% of sunlight;
• 50 is the highest degree (exactly like SPF 90-100, but such figures cannot be found on the packaging of foundation), which guarantees protection up to 99.9% of sunlight.

The optimal SPF value for the foundation remains 5-30 depending on age, condition, skin type, vulnerability to sunlight and individual characteristics. For example, for young skin there will be enough SPF 15 for winter and SPF 20-25 for summer, for a mature epidermis or after a chemical peeling procedure, a product with a high SPF 30 cannot be dispensed with.

The original purpose of foundation is to create a uniform coating and perfect tone. When SPF gets into its composition, the product instantly gains an additional advantage - protects the skin from premature aging, wrinkles and even melanoma - skin cancer. There are two answers to the question whether the face is tanning under the action of the foundation.After applying the foundation to the skin more or less evenly keeps on it for two hours, after three hours the skin almost completely “eats” it from the surface. Therefore, whether the skin will burn or not depends on the update of the tonal coverage. If you apply it in the morning and go to work within the first two hours, then the epidermis does not light up, if you forget about the renewal of the cream and go to the beach, then a light tan can not be avoided.

The texture of the product with a tonal effect can be different: dense, medium, liquid and light (fluid). Its main advantage is the creation of tone and additional protection against UV radiation. The shades of tonal means differ, which must be selected in the store and tested on your own skin.

• For light skin, choose a cream with a protection factor of at least SPF 20 if you plan to use it in the summer and spend most of your time indoors;
• For tanned skin, select the appropriate shade right in the cosmetic shop, because the current color is different from the natural and requires an updated product. This does not mean that the SPF factor will have to choose less;
• Giving shine. This foundation contains in its composition light-reflecting particles, which will favorably emphasize the surface of the skin and relieve minor imperfections. It looks equally good on light or dark skin, especially today “make-up without make-up” is relevant, and natural shine will be only to the face.

This type of foundation with sun-protection factor is indicated for girls and women after a chemical peeling procedure.
