Upgrade Your Sunscreen

Why upgrading the SPF to 30 is necessary.

Increasing to SPF30 would also offer protection against UVA which penetrate the deeper layers of the dermis that actually caused the fine lines and wrinkles. Recent researches indicate more synergy effect could be gained if antioxidant are also present in the day cream that we used.
