SPF 100 Sunscreen: Maximum Protection Against UV Damage

Sunscreen is good, a higher SPF sunscreen is better, and SPF 100 sunscreen is the pinnacle of UV protection. No sunscreen can provide 100% protection against UVB radiation. But the best protection is still pretty great: SPF 100 sunscreen blocks 99% of UVB rays. Understand why the highest SPF sunscreen is the right choice for you.

Why Opt for SPF 100 Sunscreen?

When it comes to a sunscreen's sun protection factor (SPF), the numbers matter. Even small differences in the amount of UVB rays blocked can add up to substantial sun protection during your life. If you're outdoors on most days, the higher protection from SPF 100 sunscreen can be helpful against sunburn, skin aging, and skin cancer.

In a study, 199 healthy men and women wore SPF 50+ sunscreen on one half of their face and SPF 100+ sunscreen on the other half. After about 6-7 hours of sun exposure, over half of the participants were more sunburned on the SPF 50+ protected side and 5% on the SPF 100+ protected side.

Key Features of SPF 100 Sunscreens

SPF 100 sunscreen offers robust protection against UVB radiation, the culprit behind sunburn and an increased risk of skin cancer. If it's a broad spectrum product, it will also safeguard against deeply penetrating UVA rays, which are responsible for all forms of skin aging, including wrinkles.

SPF 100+ mineral sunscreens are not common. But you needn't worry about using a chemical sunscreen for maximum sun protection. Chemical sunscreens with new formulations avoid the organic filters that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) deems problematic.

SPF 100+ sunscreens can protect against both UVA and UVB rays, shielding the skin against sun damage and premature aging. Just check for 'broad spectrum' on the label to make sure you're choosing the correct product.

If you have sensitive skin, consider SPF 100 sunscreens that are suitable for all skin types. And if you need extra hydration, you'll find SPF 100 sunscreens that combine sun protection with moisturizing benefits.

Understanding the Difference: SPF 100 vs. Lower SPF Ratings

The SPF of a sun protection product is the amount of UVB rays it lets through. SPF 100 sunscreen allows only 1% of UVB rays to hit the skin. SPF is also an indicator of the time it takes for sun-exposed skin to acquire a sunburn. If you have SPF 30 sunscreen on, it will take 30 times longer for you to burn in the sun. That said, you should avoid staying out in the sun for long hours even if you've applied sunscreen that offers the best possible protection. Also, as sunscreen doesn't stay on all day, wearing off and exposing your skin to UV radiation, its reapplication is essential to maintain continuous protection.

How to Properly Apply and Reapply SPF 100 Sunscreen

Correct application of sunscreen is essential to derive the desired sun protection. Apply sunscreen generously, covering all exposed areas, including the back of your hands. A sunscreen for face SPF 100 is usually available in a smaller bottle as it is intended mainly for the face. You could look at a combo product to use on both your face and body. If you have sensitive skin, you may want to stick to a face sunscreen which is specially formulated for your skin type.

This is our recommended sunscreen application regimen:

  1. Cleanse your face
  2. Sunscreen must be applied directly on the skin. Starting with a clean face is ideal as it removes impurities from the skin and allows the sunscreen to act as effectively as it can. If you need to apply moisturizer, do it before wearing sunscreen.

  3. Apply SPF 100 sunscreen
  4. Squeeze a small dollop of UltraProtect Fluid Sunscreen SPF 100 sunscreen onto your fingertips and apply it to your face, neck, chest, the top of your ears, the back of your hands, and other exposed areas. A good way to ensure you're applying enough sunscreen is to put two layers of the product on exposed areas. This way, you're unlikely to miss any spots!

  5. Apply your makeup
  6. Your face is ready for make-up. Apply your favorite cosmetic products over your sunscreen.
