Skin Care Tip: Does SPF 30 protect your skin twice as much as SPF 15? Did you know that an SPF 30 offers only 4% more sun protection than an SPF 15? And an SPF 45 offers only 2% more than an SPF 30. And the higher up you go, that percentage lessens. The real secret to protecting your skin from harmful UV rays is to reapply often and generously—it’s really not the SPF number that matters.

A minimum of SPF 15 worn every day, rain or shine, inside or out, is an absolute must to keep sun damage to a minimum. If you’re hesitant to use sunscreen because they feel to heavy on the skin or have caused break outs, you just haven’t found the right one yet. For oily skins, look for sunscreens formulated with a minimum of 6% Zinc Oxide to ensure a lightweight texture that won’t cause acne.

Renée Rouleau Daily Protection SPF 30 is our #1 best-selling product because it’s so lightweight and won’t clog the pores like many sunscreens can…

  1. What about Vitamin D? Or are supplements replacing everything these days?

  2. It is my belief that most people will get enough Vitamin D from the sun because most people don’t cover up every inch of their body 365 days a year. (Example: hands, neck, arms etc…)

    But it’s best to check with your doctor to see if you have a Vitamin D deficiency. Everyone is different.
