Sunscreen Secrets: The Truths You Need to Know About SPF

When it comes to sunscreen, most people think a quick swipe of SPF 15 before a beach day is enough. Spoiler alert: it’s not. Sunscreen isn’t just for beach days, and it’s definitely not something you should skimp on—especially if you love having glowing, youthful skin. At The Laser Beautique, we’re all about results-driven self-care (and saving you from villains like sunburn, wrinkles, and pigmentation). So here are some SPF secrets that’ll have you slaying the sun and living smoothly ever after.

1. SPF ≠ Total Protection

Sun Ray SPF 50SPF shields you from UVB rays (the ones that cause sunburn), but what about UVA rays? These sneaky rays cause premature aging and pigmentation. Look for “broad-spectrum” sunscreen—like our very own TLB Scientific Skincare Sun Ray SPF 50, which shields you from:

IR-A (Infrared Rays)
HEV (High Energy Visible Blue Light)
UVA & UVB (Ultra Violet Rays)
VL (Visible Light).
It even includes an anti-pollution shield, so your skin stays protected even after sunset.

2. You’re Not Using Enough!

Sorry Beauts, that pea-sized dab of SPF isn’t cutting it. For your face, aim for 2-3 finger lengths of sunscreen. For your body? A shot glass amount. Luckily, TLB Sun Ray’s light gel formula spreads like a dream—ideal for combination, oily, and sensitive skin. Bonus: it’s compact enough to keep in your handbag or pocket for on-the-go touch-ups!

3. Reapply, Reapply, Reapply

Sunscreen doesn’t last all day. Sweat, swimming, or just existing outdoors breaks it down. Reapply every 2 hours if you’re outside. TLB Sun Ray has you covered with its water-resistant formula that stays put even during workouts.

4. Blue Light Damage Is Real

Did you know blue light (the type emitted from your phone or laptop) can cause pigmentation and accelerate aging? TLB Sun Ray includes a blue light melanin blocker to protect your skin from high-frequency light wavelengths of 400nm to 500nm. Yes, your sunscreen needs to work indoors too!
