At Soin-et-Nature, we also think about moderate exposure, those mild days when the sun caresses more than it burns. If your skin is already tanned or less sensitive, SPF10 to SPF30 skincare products offer light but essential protection. Creams, oils, sprays or sticks: comfortable, easy-to-apply textures that combine selected sun filters, moisturizers and antioxidants to protect the skin without suffocating it.

Why choose medium protection SPF10 to SPF30?

First of all, it's important to point out that it's never recommended to opt for an SPF lower than 15, which is insufficient to counter the harmful effects of the sun's rays. Products with an SPF between 15 and 30 offer basic but not optimal protection.

Below SPF 30, sunscreens are reserved for people with very dark skin, or for day care products used all year round.
Suitable for everyday use, while preventing the damaging effects of intense sun exposure, they help you protect your skin from the sun's harmful effects, by forming a barrier on the surface of your epidermis to filter out ultraviolet rays.

What average SPF should you choose for your skin type?

Choosing your sunscreen factor is very important when you're out in the sun. It's advisable to choose your SPF according to your skin phototype. There are 6 phototypes, ranging from the lightest to the darkest skins.

What's more, when we indicate that the cream is "broad spectrum", it means that the product filters out both UVB and UVA rays. It's not enough to have the right sun protection factor; you have to apply it effectively. Each skin type has its own recommended protection factor, but it's also advisable to choose the right sun protection for your skin type: oily skin, dry skin, black skin, mixed-race skin, or children's skin all deserve care adapted to the type of sun exposure.

Which SPF10 to 30 sun care product should I use for moderate sun?

Medium-protection suncare products with a sun protection factor (SPF ) of between 10 and 30 offer effective protection against ultraviolet (UV) rays during moderate sun exposure. These products are particularly suited to skin already accustomed to the sun or to temperate climates, enabling you to enjoy the benefits of the sun while minimizing the risks to your skin. Their use is essential to preserve skin health and promote a harmonious, long-lasting tan.

The SPF (Sun Protection Factor) measures a product's effectiveness in protecting the skin against UVB rays, which are responsible for sunburn and numerous short-term skin damages. A medium SPF (10 to 30) indicates a moderate barrier against these rays, extending exposure time by 10 to 30 times before visible signs of erythema (redness) appear.

SPF 10 to 15: Light protection for darker skins or those accustomed to the sun.
SPF 20 to 30: Moderate protection for lightly tanned skin or temporary exposure to medium sunlight.

In addition to UVB, some sun care products include protection against UVA rays, which penetrate deeper into the skin, causing structural damage, premature aging andhyperpigmentation.

What are the benefits of a medium SPF sunscreen?

Protection against UVB rays: Medium protection skincare products reduce the impact of UVB rays, preventing redness, irritation and sunburn, while enabling a gradual tanning process.
Preservation against UVA rays: UVA rays, often neglected, cause profound oxidative damage. Sun protection with UVA and UVB filters preserves the integrity of collagen fibers and elastin, keeping skin firm and supple.
Promotes a natural tan: With a medium SPF, skin is protected while gradually developing an even, long-lasting golden glow.
Hydration and Repair: Many sun care products include moisturizing agents that preserve the skin barrier, reducing dehydration caused by the sun.
Comfort and versatility: The light textures of medium protection products are ideal for everyday activities. Water- and perspiration-resistant, they are ideal for outdoor activities, sports and swimming.

How do I apply SPF10 to SPF30 sun creams?

To guarantee optimum protection, it's crucial to apply and reapply suncare products correctly.

Before exposure

Apply the product generously at least 20 to 30 minutes before exposure.
Be sure to cover all exposed areas, including ears, neck, tops of feet and hard-to-reach areas.

During exposure

Reapply every two hours, or after every swim or heavy perspiration.
For prolonged exposure, combine sun care with protective clothing, UV-certified sunglasses and a wide-brimmed hat.

After exposure

After-sun care moisturizes the skin, soothes irritation and prolongs tanning.
