SO I was super excited to find out the line has SPF. Even if it\u2019s not quite balmy yet, we beauty editors always have SPF on the mind! I got some tips from Lavera\u2019s CEO, Ulrike Jacob-Dewor, who not only has a PhD in biochemistry, but has also worked as an environmental consultant!\n\nHere, her top safe summer tips!\n\n1) Find out the required SPF for your skin type. Here\u2019s how:\n\na. Know your skin\u2019s sun safety time (how long you can safely stay in the sun before burning): Fair skin: 10 minutes, olive skin: 15 minutes, and dark skin: 20 minutes.\n\nb. Identify the SPF on your sunscreen (eg. SPF 20).\n\nc. To calculate your sunscreen protection time (the amount of time you can stay outside before burning), multiply your skin type\u2019s sun safety time with the SPF listed on your sunscreen. For example, 15 minutes (for olive skin) x SPF 20 = 300 minutes (5 hours) of sun protection. Result: Olive skin using a sunscreen with SPF 20 can under ideal conditions stay in the sun for up to 5 hours.\n\n2) Be natural. Use natural, mineral-based sunscreens.\n\nAvoid synthetic chemicals such as4-Methyl-Benzylidencamphor, (4-MBC), Oxybenzone, Benzophenone-3, Octyl-methoyl-cinnamates(OMC), Octyl-Dimethyl-Para-Amino-Benzoic Acid(OD-PABA), Homosalate(HMS).\n\n3) At the start of the summer, choose a high factor of SPF 30 or higher, and only stay in the sun for short periods in order to acclimatize your skin gradually.\n\n4) Apply sun screen carefully and generously. Reapply after swimming and perspiration.\n\n5) Apply sun protection even while in the shade; you are still exposed to 40% of the sun\u2019s UV radiation.\n\n6) For the best protection under make-up, use a two-in-one moisturizer/sunscreen such as Lavera\u2019s Anti-Aging Sun Screen SPF 20 for Face.\n\n7) Avoid direct sun exposure between 11 am and 3 pm as sunlight is strongest during these times.\n\n8) When traveling, remember that snow and water reflect sunlight, intensifying its UV rays. In these conditions, it\u2019s best to wear a SPF 30 or higher. Also, use SPF 30 and up when near the equator and in mountainous areas where the sun\u2019s rays are more intense.\n\nFind lovely Lavera products at a Whole Foods near you!"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
