"Interview with Nancy Donovan, owner of Essex Beauty Training School."
Nancy Donovan began her career 17 years ago after completing a BTEC IN Beauty Therapy at the London College of Fashion. Nancy is also an internal verifier and assessor and is fully certified in the field of education in teaching, having obtained her degree at Greenwich University She has delivered NVQ’s levels 1,2 and 3 in a variety of government run and private academies whilst keeping a focus on maintaining good relationships with her past students and the highly regarded recruitment agencies.
Why did you choose this profession?
From the age of 14 I knew I wanted to be a Beauty Therapist I loved making people feel better and just thought, this is what I want to do.
What were the beginnings of your professional career?
I started at the age of 16 by attending the London College of Fashion I studied a two year BTEC studying all aspects of beauty.
I then went on to work in a chain of London health clubs then Medical Spas and High-end Salons in London and Essex
As I progressed to a more senior level my role involved training new staff on in-house styles and treatments I really enjoyed doing this and I thought training people to become Therapists would be a new career path for me
I gained all of my teaching qualifications to Degree level then I worked for a government run college for six years before going on to work in private academies. I also provided consultancy services to people wishing to open their own Training Schools.
After years of working for other Training Schools the opportunity came for me and my sister to start our own Training School
The Essex Beauty Training School was established eight years ago. We deliver NVQs from Level 2Level 5 and a range of short diploma courses. Skin courses are our specialism as this is my area of expertise.
Do you consider yourself a businesswoman?
Yes I would. I wouldn’t say I was a tough business women. I am very soft natured. However, over the years I have realised that I can't let my soft nature dictate business decisions.
What gives you the greatest satisfaction in your work?
Seeing my students succeed! I watch people grow and develop, they gain confidence and new skills and I ignite a spark of passion in people. I love it when people contact me to tell me of their achievments after they have left our courses.
Why did you decide to open Essex Beauty Training School?
Myself and my sister set up the school together. When my daughter came along I knew working for myself would be a lot more flexible. My sister has four children so this suited us so well
09 BEAUTY INDUSTRY
Please tell us more about your Academy.
We are based in Upminster, Essex We provide Beauty training courses for adult learners (anyone over school age). I only teach small groups and although there is a course syllabus to follow, I like to find out what a student wants from a course so that I can make sure they are learning what they need to.
What is your priority in your work?
Delivering good quality training Keeping students up to date with the changes in industry. Giving students the skills to confidently perform in a salon role or to run their own business with our support along the way
Do you remember a situation when you achieved spectacular success?
We have been really lucky and nominated for a few awards. This week I have been nominated for VTCT Best Teacher award
What sets your beauty salon/academy apart from the competition?
I would say all the tutors are extremely experienced, passionate and are still in industry. For me honesty is really important making sure the students have chosen the right course for them Money is never my first priority my students are.
How do you evaluate the past year of your work?
I sit down with Katie and we discuss - how many learners we have taught, how many were new or returning. What courses have been added and how did they do
And of course how much money did we bring in!
Do you have any plans for the future?
Our future focus will be on good quality accessible Skin training This is my specialist area and I find a lot of therapists are lacking in skin knowledge. None of the NVQ courses really cover skin training and what is covered is very basic. This puts therapists at a massive dissadvantage as they learn about treatments and how to perform them, but without good skin training they will never understand why those treatments do what they do, or what to do if they are not working. So I am on a crusade to firstly make therapists aware of the benefits of having good skin knowledge and then ensuring I can provide excellent training courses and support to facilitate this.

The history of facial scrubs and peelings dates back to ancient Egypt, where milk baths (particularly donkey ‘and goat’s milk) have been a well-valued cosmetic procedure. We now know that these baths were in sour milk Due to the alpha hydroxy acids (AHA), or lactic acids, the baths had visible positive effects on the skin. Some ancient sources say that Cleopatra, the Queen of Egypt, needed milk from around 700 donkeys per bath
In ancient Greece exfoliating treatments were more popular. To make those scrubs they used mixes containing yoghurt, honey, olive oil, fruits, and herbs. Those who couldn’t afford such ingredients used sand, and date pits
In the renaissance times, Leonardo da Vinci used his own scrubs made from citric acid and flour to exfoliate his skin.
12
BEAUTY INDUSTRY
In later centuries, people started using tartaric acid and hydrochloric acid as well, however, these ingredients were often too harsh for many skin types.
In 1870, a German dermatologist, Ferdinard Ritter von Hebra, started using salicylic and sulphuric acid mixtures to treat acne and blemishes/pigmentation. Other scientists continued working and testing different chemical acids that could be used safely on skin.
In the 70s, an American dermatologist, Dr Thomas Bever, introduced the first commercial chemical peeling treatments to the market, which contained glycolic acid
Soon after, peelings with salicylic acid, lactic acid, retinol and trichloroacetic acid (TCA) were developed
Nowadays, chemical exfoliating treatments, also known as peelings, are one of the most common and well-liked treatments in aesthetic medicine clinics and beauty salons.
What is this treatment all about?
Peelings are the process of controlled peeling of the skin This procedure consists of applying a properly selected mixture of chemical compounds in a specific concentration
These mixtures penetrate deep into the skin and positively affect the reconstruction and growth of collagen and elastin
The removal of the stratum corneum in the process of exfoliation stimulates the reconstruction of the proper skin cells Peelings are not only wonderful treatments on its own, they are also great in combination with other
chemical treatments Because of this we can successfully treat acne scars, post-inflammatory scars, enlarged pores, wrinkles, and discoloration
Peelings can be divided into groups: They affect the epidermis (stratum corneum and granular layer of the skin). The peeling of the skin is barely visible, skin renewal takes from 5 to 10 days, and it’s the most popular chemical peeling. This treatment most commonly uses salicylic, lactic, glycolic, citric, pyruvic acids
superficial peelings
medium-depth peelings
Exfoliation occurs throughout the epidermis (up to the papillary layer). In addition to exfoliation, it accelerates the regeneration process and stimulates fibroblasts. The renewal period lasts about 10 days
An example of a medium-deep chemical peel is Yellow Peel, TCA 35%, AHA 50%
deep peelings
The exfoliation reaches the deeper layers of the dermis (mesh layer) This type requires operating room conditions and several days of clinical stay. Special bandages and ointments are applied to the skin subjected to such strong exfoliation.
Skin renewal lasts about a month. These peels are performed very rarely and only in hospital conditions.
13
BEAUTY INDUSTRY
Indications/reasons for treatments with the use of chemical peeling include:
shallowing/reduction of wrinkles removing the symptoms of photoaging
shallowing/reduction of scars, e g , post-acne or post-inflammatory disorders of seborrheic glands (enlarged pores, excessive sebum production)
acne
skin dryness
discoloration, age spots
Chloasma (most often occurs during pregnancy or when taking hormones)
- improving the appearance and condition of the skin
smoothing, shallowing, and reducing stretch marks
and many more
Some of the contraindications include:
active viral and bacterial infections (e g , herpes)
active skin diseases, e.g., Atopic Dermatitis
pregnancy
breastfeeding
allergy to exfoliating substances
broken continuity of the epidermis in the treatment area
surgical procedures within the treatment area
tendency to keloids
mental disorders
autoimmune diseases
dark skin (skin phototype V and VI - dark skin has a pH of 4.8-5.2, so it is more acidic than white skin)
In addition to indications and contraindications, pre- and post-treatment care is very important. You need to somehow prepare your skin for chemical peels. And so:
at least for a week before the procedure, do not perform microdermabrasion, external retinoids, and other preparations irritating the skin
- do not use peelings for at least 3 weeks before the procedure do not sunbathe for at least 3 weeks beforehand at least for 7 days before the procedure, do not use creams with AHA acids or retinol men should not shave 24 hours before the procedure do not consume any alcohol 24 hours before the procedure
After the procedure, you should follow these recommendations:
do not apply makeup for 24 hours afterwards use sunscreen of at least 30 SPF do not use creams with AHA acids or retinol for 2 weeks
do not use the sauna or swimming pool for 2 weeks do not sunbathe for 4 weeks
A properly selected type of peeling along with proper home care will provide you with beautiful and smooth skin for many years to come.
It's worth doing a proper skincare routine and sticking with it. For example, on Friday evening, after removing make-up and cleansing the face, neck, and cleavage, we perform an enzymatic peeling and then apply a moisturising mask Next, we use a tonic and apply serum and cream.
14 BEAUTY INDUSTRY
Enzymatic peeling is very easy to do yourself, at home.
For sensitive and blemish-prone skin: mix a piece of fresh pineapple or papaya with oat flour and apply on the face Don’t massage! Rinse with lukewarm water after 10-15 minutes. Thanks to the enzymes in the fruit, it cleanses the skin of dead epidermis For delicate skin, it is not recommended to use peelings more than once a week
For oily skin: mix 2 tablespoons of sugar with a tablespoon of aloe vera gel. Then apply it to wet skin and massage gently. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water You can enrich the mixture by adding a tablespoon of olive oil. Oily skin can be ‘peeled’ twice a week
The best-known and simplest smoothing body scrub is a coffee scrub Mix 3 tablespoons of ground coffee, 3 tablespoons of olive oil and 3 tablespoons of honey The skin will be perfectly smooth and will acquire a beautiful colour. Use once a week
Smooth and radiant skin has always been the desire of women, and chemical peelings have always been helpful in achieving that In order to choose the right one for your problem and skin type, it is worth going for a series of professional peelings to a beauty salon or aesthetic medicine clinic Only then can we be sure of safety and good results.

"Microneedle Radiofrequency: The Next Generation of Non-Surgical Skin Tightening"
Beata Werys
International beauty therapist trainer, specialist in biological renewal, expert in combined therapies and proprietary therapies Author of books and articles related to the cosmetic industry. Owner of a beauty room in Newport, Wales, co-owner of B&E Beauty Trainings beauty school in the UK Organizer of the European Cosmetology Symposium.
Microneedle radiofrequency is one of the most popular cosmetic treatments worldwide for the face and body, commonly referred to as a nonsurgical facelift due to its non-invasive nature. Microneedle radiofrequency combines two procedures: radio frequency (RF), which uses radio frequency waves to heat the skin tissue, and microneedling, which mechanically stimulates and rebuilds the skin.
Controlled radiofrequency energy simultaneously heats and punctures the chosen area of the body or face This modern cosmetic treatment is increasingly replacing surgical procedures, gaining more and more supporters Microneedle radiofrequency allows for firm, elastic, and supple skin by heating the collagen fibers, which predisposes them to rapid regeneration
The device's head is equipped with a disposable
16
BEAUTY INDUSTRY
cartridge containing several gold-plated microneedles that are heated to a temperature of 45-60°C upon insertion into the skin The procedure is associated with slight discomfort rather than pain, and it allows for higher power and more intensive therapy, resulting in a spectacular final outcome.
Beauty Therapist applies a head (cartridge) with micro-needles, which uses radiofrequency waves to heat the skin tissue and micro-needling to mechanically stimulate the skin in a specific area of the face or body. The needles penetrate the skin to a depth determined by the cosmetologist, and then a heating impulse is sent to the skin. In this way, not only the surface of the tissue is heated, but also its deeper layers from 0.5mm to 3.5mm. The ability to set the time, power, and appropriate depth of needling according to the type and condition of the skin allows the procedure to be safely performed on any part of the body and face. However, the biggest advantage of RF technology compared to lasers is that every layer of the skin is heated evenly, making the treatment exceptionally effective
At the moment of the needle penetration, an electrical impulse is delivered to the deep layers of the skin, causing them to be intensely heated. The depth of the micro-needles, time, and energy with which we act on the tissue depend on the body or facial area and the type of condition undergoing the treatment Both needling and heating lead to partial damage to the skin, activating regenerative and reparative processes
As a result of this action, new tissue is formed with a proper, smooth structure, elasticity, and firmness. The microneedle radiofrequency device transfers radio energy to the deeply located layers of the skin
The first effects are visible immediately after the treatment
Due to the contraction of collagen fibers, the skin becomes more tense, smooth, elastic, and firm. However, the full effect can take from several to several dozen weeks, during which there is an intensive process of creating new collagen, twisting, and densifying its fibers in the skin
Thanks to this, the skin becomes visibly tense and very elastic, wrinkles are noticeably smoothed out, scars are much shallower, and stretch marks are less visible Therefore, micro-needle radiofrequency quickly, easily, and effectively removes stretch marks, reduces loose skin, and eliminates troublesome cellulite
The main benefits of microneedle radiofrequency treatment for the face are:
Visible smoothing of wrinkles
Rebuilding of collagen fibers
Visible lifting effect
Firming and increasing skin density
Smoothing of skin texture and improvement of skin tone
Thickening and densifying thin skin
Indications for microneedle
radiofrequency treatment include:
Wrinkles and fine lines: microneedle
radiofrequency can help reduce the visibility of fine wrinkles and lines, such as crow's feet, smile lines, and wrinkles around the mouth.
Loss of skin firmness: the treatment can help firm and increase the density of the skin, improving its elasticity and resilience
Skin sagging: the treatment can help reduce the visibility of sagging and loose skin, particularly on the face, neck, and décolletage.

Uneven skin tone: the treatment can help reduce skin discolorations such as age spots and other pigmentation issues, while improving overall skin tone.
Who is a suitable candidate for microneedle radiofrequency treatment?
Microneedle radiofrequency treatment is a safe and effective procedure that can be performed on individuals over the age of 18 who want to reduce the appearance of scars, stretch marks, and fine lines, as well as improve skin texture and firmness on the face or body. It is especially effective in reducing acne scars and sun damage The best results for facial treatments are typically seen in individuals between the ages of 25 and 55, although older individuals can also achieve great results, especially with treatments that have increased intensity
The benefits of microneedle radiofrequency treatment include improved facial contour and a visible reduction in wrinkles, resulting in firmer, more elastic, and even-toned skin It can also smooth out irregularities caused by cellulite and stretch marks on the body, and significantly reduce sagging skin on various areas, such as the arms, neck, décolletage, buttocks, abdomen, and thighs, which may result from aging, pregnancy, or rapid weight loss.
Microneedle radiofrequency treatment is an excellent option for anyone looking to enhance their appearance and achieve a more youthful, glowing complexion. It is a non-invasive, safe, and relatively painless procedure with minimal downtime. However, as with any cosmetic procedure, it is important to consult with a trained and licensed practitioner to determine if it is the right treatment for you.
Combines the advantages of micro-needling mesotherapy and fractional laser, resulting in improved skin texture, firmness, and tone. Can be performed throughout the year, including summer, without the risk of hyperpigmentation, unlike some other skin treatments.
After the procedure, there may be slight redness on the face, but it usually disappears within 24-48 hours.
Has a wide range of applications, including reducing the appearance of scars, stretch marks, skin sagging, and wrinkles
To prepare for the procedure, a cosmetologist will provide a number of guidelines on how to maximize the benefits of the treatment and minimize the risks of complications.

"Microsclerotherapy in a beauty salon"

An expert in facial and body therapies, she is also a published author of beauty industry articles in the UK As an international beauty educator, she is a co-owner of B&E Beauty Trainings, a cosmetic school in the UK.

Spider veins, also known as broken capillaries, are small dilated blood vessels that appear near the surface of the skin They are often blue or purple and often appear in clusters, covering a large area of the lower legs They can appear on both the thighs and the calves. They are not perceptible to the touch of fingers. It is especially visible in women with delicate, thin skin People who have spider veins on their legs often also struggle with capillary skin This is a specific type of skin, in
which small capillaries are dilated It manifests itself in redness, mainly in the areas of the cheeks and nose Thin vessels on the face are visible especially under the influence of sun, wind, frost, after consuming spicy dishes and alcohol, as well as after intensive effort. Expanded blood vessels on the legs are a cosmetic defect. Many women hide them by wearing clothing that covers their legs. However, the appearance of the legs is secondary, as the cracked blood vessels on the
20
BEAUTY INDUSTRY
legs can be the first sign of varicose veins in the lower limbs.
The best solution for broken capillaries on the legs is microsclerotherapy.
What is Microsclerotherapy?
Microsclerotherapy is an effective and relatively straightforward procedure for treating spider veins or thread veins in the legs. The technique involves injecting a liquid solution directly into the veins to destroy them and cause them to fade over time. This treatment is particularly suitable for thread veins below the heart, as gravity has an effect on the blood in the veins and the skin of the face is more sensitive to burns For thread veins located above the heart, such as on the face, Electrocoagulation, Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) or laser measures can be used instead. Microsclerotherapy is a popular choice for treating thread veins in the legs due to its effectiveness and relatively low risk of adverse effects In the case of spider veins, the solution injected into the veins causes them to collapse, reroute the blood flow and eventually disappear
What is used for microsclerotherapy?
The product to use for Microsclerotherapy are prescription only; they can only be prescribed by a doctor
My beauty salons offers thread vein injections and I also offer accredited training For microsclerotherapy I use sodium tetradecyl sulphate (STS) as a sclerosant, in a liquid form. STS is a licensed and is extremely safe when used as a sclerosant. As with all products, however, there is a limit to the dose that can be administered in any one session. All microsclerotherapy sessions conform to the strict guidelines of maximum doses allowable of the sclerosant.
Some clinics will offer treatment of thread veins using laser or IPL Although this can be quite effective with thread veins on the face, it is usually both painful and ineffective with thread veins on the legs.
Can Microsclerotherapy be used to treat facial veins?
Microsclerotherapy should not be used to treat facial thread veins.
For treatment of thread veins of the face, I would recommend electrocoagulation.
Description of Microsclerotherapy treatment:
Pre-Procedure
The procedure takes place in a treatment room with consultant.
At clients initial consultation I explain the treatment options to a clients (including potential complications and success rates). Before proceeding with the microsclerotherapy treatment, I ensure that clients fully understands all of the information provided.

21 BEAUTY INDUSTRY
The Procedure:
The procedure involves injecting a diluted drug, in the form of a sclerosant, into the veins. The sclerosant causes localised damage to the inner lining (endothelium) of the vein This subsequently causes the thread vein to collapse. The inner lining of the vein becomes thickened, sealing off the vein so that blood can no longer flow through it The blood is redirected to deeper veins.
During the treatment, the thread veins initially disappear instantly as the sclerosant is injected into the vein However, the veins rapidly become more red and more visible again immediately after treatment due to inflammation The veins can often look worse immediately after treatment. It is common to develop localised redness, similar to a nettle sting It usually takes several days or even weeks for the inflammation to settle, and for the veins to disappear
As microsclerotherapy involves a series of tiny injections, some patients find this uncomfortable or slightly painful. The sclerosant used may also sting slightly.
The procedure usually takes around 30-45 minutes.
Most patients require between 2 and 4 sessions of microsclerotherapy, so it is important to note that it might take some time to fully resolve all of clients thread veins. Occasionally, only 1 session is required Ideally, the session would last until I have treated all the affected veins, but we must stop the treatment once we have reached the safety limit. The number of sessions required depends entirely on how many veins client present with and how well client’s veins respond to treatment (some veins may need treating more than once)
Post-Procedure:
Once the procedure has finished, clients need to put on a compression stocking (or two if had both legs treated). It is a strongly advised to wear these for a full week post-treatment, I also provide clients with aftercare advice, including any posttreatment symptoms to be aware of I ask clients to take at least a 10-minute walk following the appointment, prior to making a way home
Microsclerotherapy Aftercare:
Following microsclerotherapy treatment, clients need to wear a compression stocking or socks for a week. The sclerosant used may result in some bruising The extent of the bruising will depend on the size of the area treated and the number of veins in the area Clients can resume normal activities following microsclerotherapy. I strongly encourage clients to go on at least a 20-minute walk each day
At beauty school B&E Beauty Trainings, which I am a co-owner, we offer an accredited Microsclerotherapy training.

The idea of being able to create beautiful, stunning lash extensions that would make women feel confident and beautiful was what drew me to this line of work, and I knew that it was something I wanted to pursue for the rest of my life.
After finishing college, I took a job in a large salon in my hometown, but thoughts of opening my own salon were already brewing in my mind I knew that if I wanted to truly make a name for myself in the industry and create a business that I was passionate about, I needed to take matters into my own hands. Finally, after months of saving up, I managed to gather the funds to make my dream a reality, and I decided to move to the UK to open my own lash salon

"The stories of women who decided to pursue their dreams of opening a salon in the UK.
23
Despite difficulties and initial obstacles, their salons became successful and gained a large group of satisfied clients.''
The beginning was very difficult for me, as I didn't know anyone in the beauty industry in the UK and had to start from scratch
I was essentially a complete unknown in the industry, and it was challenging to find a location for my salon that was both affordable and in a good location
However, I was determined to make it work and decided to open up a Beauty Room in a small room in my home. It was the perfect solution for me at the beginning, as I didn't have to rent an expensive location and could still develop my knowledge and gain experience working with clients.
At first, I focused on 1:1 lash extensions, but over time, I expanded my services I loved seeing my clients leave my Beauty Room with beautiful, long lashes and a smile on their face
After 3 years, as my business grew, I began to consider opening my own lash salon in the city. I wanted to create a place where my clients would feel comfortable and relaxed, and where I could offer even more treatments
Now that I have my salon, I know that this is just the beginning and that I still have a lot to do to develop my brand and offer.
When everything was ready, I started promoting my salon on various internet forums and Facebook groups I had to start from the very beginning, building a reputation from scratch and attracting new customers It was challenging, but it was also incredibly rewarding to see the positive feedback from my clients and to watch my salon grow and thrive.
Opening an eyelash salon in the UK was a difficult but very satisfying experience for me I know that many people have similar dreams, and I would like to encourage them to pursue them. It is worth fighting for your goals and dreams because there is always a chance of achieving them I believe that if you have a passion for something, and if you are willing to work hard and never give up, you can achieve anything you set your mind to.

"SPF - SUN PROTECTION FACTOR
What
Creams with high UV protection should become a part of your daily skincare routine. Sunscreen products should be applied after cleansing and moisturizing your face, but before makeup application. This way, their effective action will protect your skin from the sun However, it is important to remember that even a cream with the highest SPF will not provide protection for the whole day. Additional sunscreen application is necessary every 2-3 hours This can be problematic for many women, as it affects the durability of their makeup. In such situations, it is worth using powders or refreshing mists with SPF. An alternative solution is to use BB creams, which contain both high sun protection and
foundation
The skin on our face is constantly exposed to the harmful effects of sunlight For this reason, it is important to take care of it every day by applying protective creams with high UV filters. Additionally, it is important to choose the appropriate factor and match the product to the needs of your skin In some cases, especially for people prone to allergic reactions, the substances contained in cosmetics - chemical filters - can cause irritation. In such situations, it is recommended to use creams with natural or physical (mineral) filters, which leave an invisible protective barrier on the skin without reacting with it

does the popular SPF label on sunscreen creams mean? What SPF will be best for you?''
The effectiveness of UV protection depends not only on skin type and sunlight intensity but also on physical activity and swimming Therefore, sunscreen creams should be applied multiple times throughout the day
Sun radiation has a negative impact on the condition and health of the skin. Importantly, facial skin is exposed to harmful UV rays all year round Therefore, proper care and protection with sunscreen creams is necessary. Facial creams with high SPF (50 and even 50+) protect delicate, sensitive facial skin from harmful radiation, serving as a basic element of anti-wrinkle and anti-aging prevention. However, to ensure the cream fulfills its purpose, several skincare rituals must be followed So, how should you take care of your skin? When should you use facial creams with high SPF?
Why is facial sunscreen protection important?
UV radiation damages the skin on many levels. Prolonged exposure to sunlight accelerates the formation of wrinkles, weakens blood vessels, dries out the skin, and can cause the appearance of discolorations Therefore, protecting the skin from UV radiation is a necessity. Facial creams with high SPF 50 serve as a protective function Depending on the type of filter used - natural, chemical or physical (mineral) - they reflect UV rays or convert them into heat, making them harmless to the skin.
When to use face creams with high SPF 50? Two types of solar radiation can be distinguished;
• UVB, to which the skin is particularly exposed in the summer season, this radiation is
responsible for tanning, but also for burns and allergic reactions, creams with high SPF provide protection against the negative effects of this radiation,
• UVA, which is emitted throughout the year, even on cloudy and rainy days, it is responsible for photoaging of the skin, pigmentation disorders and cancer, effective protection against this type of radiation are cosmetics with a PPD index. Therefore, high SPF creams should be used in the spring-summer and autumn-winter seasons The skin on the face is thin and delicate, therefore it requires special protection against the sun For this reason, high SPF 50 creams should be used all year round, and even 50+.
SPF - Levels of Protection
According to the recommendations of the European Commission, sun protection products are divided into 4 levels of protection:
Low protection: SPF 6 and 10 (sunscreen products cannot contain an SPF lower than 6 - such filters can only be found in self-tanners or foundations), Medium protection: SPF 15, 20 and 25, High protection: SPF 30 and 50, Very high protection: SPF 50+
A sunscreen with SPF 15 filters about 93% of UVB rays, SPF 30 filters about 97%, and SPF 50 filters about 98%
There is no such thing as a sun blocker - no cosmetic product can stop 100% of UVB radiation, so even if you use the highest protection, you can still get sunburned if you apply it too little or too infrequently Emma
