SPF (Sun Protection Factor)

SPF measures how well a sunscreen protects the skin from UVB radiation, the type of ultraviolet light responsible for sunburn and skin damage. The number indicates how much longer you can stay in the sun without burning, compared to unprotected skin. While SPF focuses on UVB, full skin protection requires broad-spectrum defense—especially in AgeBiome™ protocols where antioxidants and barrier strength are also essential for preventing photoaging.

Why It’s Used:

  • Protects skin from UVB-induced burns and cellular damage
  • Helps prevent pigmentation, photoaging, and skin cancer risk
  • Preserves collagen and prevents premature DEJ breakdown
  • Essential after exfoliation, microneedling, or active treatments
  • Often paired with antioxidants for deeper UV and free radical defense
  • Complements skin recovery in Reset → Maintain phases

What It Means for You:

SPF is your skin’s first line of defense against visible and invisible sun damage—especially after high-performance rituals or daily exposure.
