SPF 30 or SPF 50? Find out which one you need and why it's important to use it every day.

Sun protection, an essential step (all year round)

When we talk about men's skincare, we often think about cleansing, moisturizing, or anti-aging treatments. But there's one fundamental step that many men still ignore: daily sun protection.

Yes, even on cloudy days or if you're indoors in natural light. And no, applying sunscreen once a day isn't enough. Reapplication is key. Today, we explain the difference between SPF 30 and SPF 50, and why both can be equally effective if used correctly.


What does the SPF number really mean?

SPF stands for Sun Protection FactorThis number indicates how long you can stay in the sun without burning, compared to using no protection.

  • SPF 30 blocks approximately 96.7% of UVB rays.

  • SPF 50 blocks approximately 98%.

As you can see, the difference in protection is only 1.3%, which is not much.

According to a study published in National Geographic, the effectiveness of SPF depends much more on the amount applied and reapplication at the right time, than on the number itself.


So which is better: SPF 30 or SPF 50?

The answer is: it depends on your lifestyle, skin type and the format that best suits you.

Most importantly: use it and reapply it!

Whether you use SPF 30 or SPF 50, what really protects your skin is:
✅ Apply a generous amount.
Reapply every 2 hours if you are in the sun or sweat.
✅ Use it all year round, not just in summer.
