Vitamin D is one essential that we all need to revitalize our bodies. Unfortunately for some of us (me), we try our level best to hide from it, especially when we’re talking about the Dubai summers. This is because being out and about in the sunshine means you’re being exposed to the damaging UVA and UVB rays, not to mention getting grilled medium-rare to well-done. Luckily, a good SPF, which should be your best friend throughout the year, and not only in summer, is always a guaranteed protection form these UVA and UVB rays.
SPF, which means Sun Protection Factor, can be categorized based on their capacity to absorb the sun’s ultra-violet rays. For instance, an SPF 15 can readily absorb about one-fifteenth of the sun’s rays as opposed to an SPF 30 cream that offers double the protection. That’s why it is necessary for you to choose a good SPF cream wisely.

Labo Transdermic Sunscreen Fluid Base SPF 50
All Labo Transdermic creams and serums are devoid of sun-filters as they are designed to be used both day and night. This light but rich emulsion contains broad spectrum UVA and UVB sunscreens and offers very high protection (50+), which lands it on our list of good SPF creams. The Sunscreen Fluid Base is specifically formulated to be used in several ways: three drops of it can be blended into the usual Labo Transdermic cream to make it a perfect highly protective day cream. When used alone, it is a complete sunscreen that can be, possibly, followed by the usual Labo Transdermic cream.
