Protect your skin Even if your skin is not burning, it may still be experiencing effects of UVA rays. The Sun Protection Factor (SPF) is an indication of protection from UVB rays. The SPF number indicates how long you can stay in the sun, without burning. PA stands for protection grade of UVA system and is the Japanese measurement of sun protection, which is based on the Persistent Pigment Darkening (PPD) reaction reading at 2-4 hours of sun exposure.  According to info from the wiki, the Persistent Pigment Darkening (PPD) method is a method of measuring UVA protection, similar to the SPF method of measuring UVB light protection. These are the three levels of protection that are commonly seen: PA+, PA++ and PA+++.  PA+ provides some UVA protection with a factor of PPD 2-4 PA++ provides moderate UVA protection with a factor of PPD 4-8 PA+++ provides good UVA protection with a factor of PPD > 8 Which means, you’re better off picking a sunscreen with PA+++ which will provide you with the greatest protection. http://www.vivawoman.net/2008/06/09/the-japanese-pa-sunscreen-rating-system/  All of our products have both UVA and UVB protection, however the PA+++ rating system is included on the label in only some markets. The US FDA is currently undergoing a change in the rating system for sun protection products and is going to require both UVB and UVA protection level to be listed; the UVB will remain SPF, but the UVA will be listed as stars. know your skin tanning type • tip for young skin • estimate your SPF • burning when you least expect

Burning when and where you least expect... Local conditions, place and time influence the risk exposure for burning your skin. Even on overcast days you can still burn. UVA and UVB rays can penetrate through clouds. UV rays intensify the higher in altitude you are, which increases the risk of burning your skin. Most people forget to use sunscreen when being outdoors relaxing, gardening or exercising. know your skin tanning type • tip for young skin • estimate your SPF • burning when you least expect

Burning when and where you least expect... When you are swimming: UV rays can penetrate several meters under water. If you are in water over 20 minutes without reapplying a sunscreen, your skin is more likely to burn. When you are on a reflective surface: For example: On water, under a white parasol or on the sand, UV rays are reflected onto your skin. That’s why you can also burn in the shade. know your skin tanning type • tip for young skin • estimate your SPF • burning when you least expect
