Summer is around the corner and you've already got your inflatable flamingo ready by the pool. But while you're dreaming of lazy afternoons on the water, don't forget the most important thing: protecting your skin from the sun. That inflatable unicorn shields you from the water, but not from UV rays.
Sun protection isn't a luxury - it's basic care. And with the right products, it doesn't have to be expensive. We compared the most popular sunscreens at Belgian online pharmacies and the price differences are surprisingly large.
Why SPF50 should be the standard
Dermatologists agree: for daily use, SPF30 is the absolute minimum, but in summer - especially during prolonged sun exposure - SPF50 is the safe choice. SPF30 filters 96.7% of UVB rays, SPF50 filters 98%. That small difference means SPF30 lets through twice as much UV radiation.
