I was blown off by the texture of Coola Classic Face Sunscreen ( Cucumber ) initially as it was unbelievable lightweight like a lightweight lotion and it absorbed into skin pretty fast. I almost thought I found my ideal sunscreen. Unfortunately, 5 minutes later, all the shine came out and my face looked so greasy.
This product contains 4 UV filters with broad spectrum SPF 30 protection.
The sunlight that reaches us is made up of two types of harmful rays: long wave ultraviolet A (UVA) and short wave ultraviolet B (UVB). UVA rays penetrate deep into the dermis, the skin’s thickest layer.
Unprotected exposure can lead to premature skin aging and wrinkling (photoaging), and suppression of the immune system. UVB rays will usually burn the superficial layers of your skin. It plays a key role in the development of skin cancer. The intensity of UVB rays vary by season, location and time of day, with 10AM to 2PM being the peak hours. Sunburned skin doesn’t just feel awful, it can cause permanent damage over time.
SPF stands for sun protection factor. Sunscreens are classified by an SPF number which refers to their ability to deflect UVB rays. The SPF rating is calculated by comparing the amount of time needed to burn sunscreen-protected skin vs. unprotected skin.
Use a broad spectrum SPF 30 or higher to protect not only against sunburn, but reduce the risk of skin cancer and premature skin aging caused by the sun.
To ensure maximum SPF coverage, apply generously over exposed skin, usually about 1 oz for the full body, or at least a quarter teaspoon for the full face.
