The new era of photoprotection: why SPF is no longer enough to protect your skin

For years we have thought that protecting skin from the sun was only about avoiding sunburn. But today dermatological science has shown that solar radiation affects much more than visible redness, especially on sensitive skin.

Photoprotection has evolved. We are no longer talking about SPF alone, but about a comprehensive defence against all the solar and environmental aggressions that accelerate ageing and alter the health of the skin.

Why is SPF no longer enough?

Traditionally, sun protection has focused on UV rays. However, these represent only a small part of the radiation we receive every day.

In fact:

Only 10% of solar radiation corresponds to UV rays.
The remaining 90% is made up of visible light (HEV) and infrared (IR-A), which also have a direct impact on the skin.

How does each type of radiation affect the skin?

UVA → causes photoageing and loss of firmness.
UVB → causes sunburn.
HEV (blue light) → promotes hyperpigmentation and blemishes.
IR-A → penetrates deeply and boosts inflammation and oxidative stress.

The conclusion is clear: protecting the skin against UV rays alone is no longer enough.

Full Spectrum: the next generation of photoprotection

Innovation in sun protection is moving towards a clear idea: protect the skin against the ENTIRE spectrum of sunlight.

Full Spectrum technology combines:

UVA + UVB + HEV + IR-A protection
Antioxidant action
Anti-pollution protection

This approach helps prevent not only visible damage, but also the invisible damage associated with oxidative stress, inflammation and premature ageing.

Today, photoprotection is no longer just about "protecting" the skin, but about defending it globally and continuously.
