As we enter the peak summer months, it is crucial that we understand how to safeguard our skin from the harmful UV rays. The latest and the most useful trend in sunscreens these days is SPF 100. No matter what you're doing, from trekking to swimming or simply commuting during the day when the sun is blazing, it is important that you use a sunscreen that is high in SPF rating. In this blog, let us talk about everything you need to know about the SPF 100 sunscreen and how Lotus Professional is leading the way on this trend.

 What Is SPF 100 Sunscreen?

SPF, or Sun Protection factor is a measure of how well a sunscreen will protect your skin from the harmful UV rays, which is the primary cause of the damage that sun does to our skin. Theoretically, SPF 100 filters out 99% of the UVB rays that hit your skin, providing very high level of protection as compared to lower SPF products. This means that if your skin would normally burn in 10 minutes without sunscreen, SPF 100 theoretically allows you to stay in the sun for up to 1,000 minutes before burning.

Advantages of SPF 100 Sunscreen

  2. SPF 100 keeps your mind at peace because you know you have applied a high protection sunscreen.
  3. Even though re-application can not be skipped, SPF 100 comparatively provides longer and better protection as compared to lower numbers.
