Let’s break down the key differences between SPF in foundation and sunscreen to ensure you’re getting the sun protection you deserve. The Truth About Foundation SPF: Lower Coverage: Foundations typically contain a lower SPF than dedicated sunscreens, usually ranging from SPF 15 to 30. While some offer higher numbers, achieving that level often requires a thicker-than-usual application, which isn’t always ideal for daily wear. Uneven Application: We tend to focus foundation on areas like the center of the face, neglecting areas like the hairline, ears, and neck that also need sun protection.

For many of us, achieving that radiant, youthful glow is a constant quest. While serums and creams can work wonders, sometimes a more targeted approach is necessary.

Here are some concerns non-ablative lasers can address: Fine lines and wrinkles: By boosting collagen, these lasers soften the appearance of fine lines, particularly around the eyes and mouth. Sun damage: Non-ablative lasers can target uneven skin tone, sunspots, and mild hyperpigmentation.
