What SPF should I use in NZ?

SPF30+
As general guidance, the Cancer Society of NZ recommends the use of broad-spectrum, SPF30+ sunscreen. Broad-spectrum sunscreen reduces the intensity of both UVA and UVB rays. If you have fair skin that burns easily you should choose an SPF 50+ broad-spectrum sunscreen. Read more about how to choose sunscreen.

How much SPF do I need for face?

30 SPF
You should use a facial sunscreen with at least 30 SPF. An SPF of 30 allows only 3% of UV rays to hit your face. When shopping for facial sunscreens, you should also choose one that is broad-spectrum, meaning it protects against both UVA and UVB rays.
