SPF 30+ vs. Higher SPF for Daily Use

Is SPF 30+ really enough for daily protection, or should I be going higher? I’ve got sensitive skin and don’t want to overdo it with heavy formulas. What’s worked for you guys?

SPF 30+ is the sweet spot—like a Goldilocks-approved shield—blocking 97% of UV rays without feeling like you’re wearing a chalky spacesuit. For sensitive skin, mineral formulas like EltaMD or CeraVe are your knights in zinc armor. Just remember, reapplication is key—think of it as your skin’s hydration happy hour, every two hours.

SPF 30+ is sufficient for daily use, but pairing it with water-resistant formulas like Supergoop Play Everyday Lotion adds extra durability. For sensitive skin, stick to mineral-based options to avoid irritation and ensure broad-spectrum coverage.
