SPF 30 vs SPF 50: Which BU Sunscreen Should You Reach For?
Share
- We’ve all been there: standing in front of the sunscreen shelf, wondering if SPF 30 is enough or if SPF 50 is the way to go. The truth? Both will give your skin amazing protection—it just depends on your skin type, your day, and how you like your sunscreen to feel.
At BU Sunscreen UK, we’ve made it simple with two easy choices: SPF 30 and SPF 50. Here’s how to pick your perfect match.
Why SPF Matters
Think of SPF as your skin’s bodyguard against UV rays. SPF 30 filters out about 96.7%, while SPF 50 blocks 98%. The difference is small but noticeable if you burn easily, have fair skin, or know you’ll be outside for hours.
BU SPF 30: Light, Matte & Everyday-Friendly
If you’re looking for a sunscreen that feels weightless, non-greasy, and plays nicely under makeup, SPF 30 is your everyday hero. It’s got a matte finish, making it perfect for your face, morning commutes, coffee runs, or that quick lunchtime walk.
✨ Best for:
- Everyday wear
- Oily or combination skin
- A natural look under makeup
BU SPF 50: Hydrating & Built for the Outdoors
Heading to the beach? Going hiking? Or maybe your skin just drinks up moisture? SPF 50 has your back. With a softer, more moisturized finish, it gives you that little extra layer of protection for days when the sun is stronger or your skin needs extra TLC.
✨ Best for:
- Dry or sensitive skin
- Long days outdoors
- Extra peace of mind
The Good News? You Can’t Go Wrong
No matter which one you choose, both BU formulas are:
✔️ Fragrance-free
✔️ Alcohol-free
✔️ Oil-free & preservative-free
✔️ Water resistant for up to 80 minutes
And of course, they both feature our WowMist™ spray—so you’ll actually want to reapply.
The Takeaway
- Choose SPF 30 if you want a light, matte everyday sunscreen.
- Go for SPF 50 if you need a hydrating formula with extra protection.
Either way, you’re making a skin-smart choice with BU Sunscreen UK.
