Effectiveness of SPF creams and the amount of product used.
Today we are debunking another myth and talking about whether the amount of SPF cream you use is important. Sometimes we confuse sunscreen cosmetics with other products and apply them in the wrong amounts. We explain why the amount of sunscreen cream matters for the effectiveness of sun protection.
Optimal amount of sunscreen - how does UV protection work?
When is an SPF cream effective? The UV protection effectiveness of Orientana SPF creams is determined for an amount of 2 mg per 1 cm² of skin surface.

How to apply sunscreen to specific body parts.
How much sunscreen to use? It depends on the surface area of the body. Finding the right amount of sunscreen for a given body part is important for effective sun protection. To provide effective UVA/UVB spectrum protection with Orientana SPF sunscreens, we should apply 2 milligrams of sunscreen per square centimeter of skin, which gives us about 1.1 g of SPF for the entire face. It can be applied in two thin layers. It is also important to remember about the neck and décolleté - about 1 gram should be applied to each of these areas.
Does the density and amount of cosmetic change the protection?
In addition to quantity, the density and viscosity of sunscreens also play a role in the effectiveness of protection. In case of doubt, practical tips on how much sunscreen to apply to the face and body should be consulted with the manufacturer of the cosmetic. Determining the right amount of sunscreen is crucial for effective skin protection against UV radiation.
Saving on sun protection.
It is not worth skimping on sunscreen. A package of SPF cream with a specific capacity should be enough for a certain number of applications to provide effective sun protection. Why proper use of sunscreen is crucial, especially during the holiday season.
The effectiveness of sunscreen creams depends on the quantity.
In conclusion, the amount of sunscreen is of great importance for the effectiveness of skin protection against UV radiation. Practicing the proper application of sunscreen is crucial to ensure effective protection of the skin from the negative effects of solar radiation.
