How to use: Apply generously and evenly over clean skin. Repeat the application frequently when out and about for long periods, especially after exercising, swimming, or towelling. Do not stay too long in the sun, even while using a sunscreen product.
For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Spending time in the sun increases your risk of skin cancer and early skin ageing. Many sun creams contain a filter (ingredient) that helps to protect the skin from the sun's rays. In some cases, this can interact with certain fabrics and may stain clothes or other fabrics. It is for this reason care should be taken when applying sunscreen around clothing. Keep out of reach of young children.

What is the benefit of an SPF moisturiser?
An SPF moisturiser provides two functions. It provides protection from UVA / UVB. It also provides hydration, which keeps the skin looking supple and fresh.
What is the difference between SPF 30 and SPF 50?
SPF, or Sun Protection Factor, is a measure of a sunscreen’s ability to prevent UVB from damaging the skin. Here’s how it works: if it takes 20 minutes for your unprotected skin to start turning red, using an SPF 30 sunscreen theoretically prevents reddening 30 times longer. TEMPLESPA SPF range contains products with ratings of SPF 30 and SPF 50 depending on the product. BODY DEFENCE has an SPF rating of 30. It is always important to protect yourself from the harmful effects of the sun. The sun is strongest between 11am - 3pm. Have a lazy lunch or bag an umbrella and stay in the shade during these hours when possible. Sunrays are actually harmful all year round not just in the summer months. Stay protected to avoid premature ageing.
How long does Body Defence SPF30 last once opened?
Every cosmetic product has a period after opening symbol (PAO), this refers to the amount of time a product will remain stable and safe for use after it has first been opened.
What is the difference between a mineral and a chemical sunscreen?
A physical sunscreen is also referred to as a mineral sunscreen because it uses mineral-based UV filters to block sun rays, such as titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. Whereas a chemical sunscreen uses chemical-based ingredients/UV filters to block sunrays, such as Octyocrylene, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate and Ethylhexyl Salicylate.
Why do you need separate SPF products for application to body and face?
Facial moisturisers need different textures and absorption rates than body moisturisers and the same is true for SPF products. LIFE DEFENCE has a slightly powdery feel and a fast absorption on the skin. Our bodies tend to need moisturisers with more playtime, and the formulations need to be easier to spread over a larger surface area to ensure you're getting the SPF protection claims; based on this, BODY DEFENCE has a glossier feel to it.
