Why You Should Be Using Bioderma Photoderm Max SPF 100

Exposure to ultraviolet light from the sun is very damaging to the skin. Sunlight is the major cause of visible signs of aging, such as wrinkles, lines, and uneven complexions. Sunlight is also a major cause of cancer. Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the United States. Melanoma, a type of skin cancer, can be very deadly.

Dermatologists urge everyone to take precautions against sun exposure. They suggest that everyone wear hats outside between 10 am and 4 pm. They also urge everyone to apply sunscreen daily, even in the winter and on cloudy days. Regularly protecting the skin can prevent most cases of skin cancer. It can also keep people looking fresh and young for much longer.

Sunscreens are rated by the Sun Protection Factor (SPF) followed by a number. This number refers to how long you can stay in the sun before being burned, and it also refers to how much ultraviolet light is screened out. A sunscreen with an SPF of 30 would be expected to block around 97% of UVB light, but might let most damaging UVA rays through. A fair individual might begin to burn after only an hour in the sun wearing a weak sunscreen. And even a few minutes of exposure to sunlight through a weak sunscreen might be enough to contribute to the development of skin cancer or wrinkles a few years down the line.

Bioderma Photoderm Max SPF 100 offers maximal sun protection. It blocks out both UVA and UVB light to the maximal degree possible. It has been given the highest possible SPF rating of 100. In addition to blocking ultraviolet light, it contains a potent cocktail of antioxidants to mop up any damaging free radicals.

Bioderma Photoderm Max SPF 100 is designed to protect very fair individuals, and to provide protection during extreme situations (sunlight bouncing off glaciers). However, its light, creamy, non-comedogenic formula is suited for use with any skin type. It helps to cover up blemishes and is water and sweat resistant. If you're going to apply sunscreen, reach for maximal protection.
