Have you ever wondered why dermatologists keep insisting on sunscreen every single day? Maybe you’ve thought, “I don’t even stay in the sun that long, do I really need such a high SPF?” The truth is, the sun affects our skin whether we’re at the beach, sitting by a window, or simply stepping out for errands. And when it comes to long-term skin health, SPF 60+ can be a game-changer.
Let’s dive into why SPF 60+ matters, how it actually works, and why something like Bebo & Co’s Solar Bliss Sunblock SPF 60+ might just become your new best friend in skincare.
What Does SPF Really Mean?
First things first, SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor. It mainly measures how well a sunscreen can protect you from UVB rays (the ones responsible for sunburns).
Here’s the simple math:
-
SPF 30 blocks about 97% of UVB rays.
-
SPF 60 blocks about 98.3% of UVB rays.
At first glance, the difference looks tiny—just 1.3%. But in reality, that small number means twice as much UVB radiation gets through with SPF 30 compared to SPF 60. Over years of sun exposure, that extra protection adds up in a big way.
And here’s the kicker—most of us don’t apply sunscreen as thickly or as evenly as recommended in lab tests. That’s where a higher SPF, like 60+, helps make up for human error.
The Hidden Enemy: UVA Rays and Photoaging
When we talk about premature aging—wrinkles, fine lines, loss of elasticity, and uneven pigmentation—it’s mostly thanks to UVA rays. These rays penetrate deeper into the skin than UVB rays and are present all year round, even on cloudy days.
That’s why broad-spectrum protection is so important. Bebo & Co Solar Bliss Sunblock SPF 60+ isn’t just about the high SPF number—it’s also formulated to guard against UVA rays that silently cause:
- Collagen breakdown (leading to saggy skin)
- Stubborn pigmentation and melasma
-
Dull, uneven skin tone
In other words, a good sunscreen is the best anti-aging product you can own.
Why SPF 60+ Is Better for Real Life
Let’s be real—we don’t apply sunscreen perfectly. Maybe we’re in a rush, maybe we forget to reapply, maybe we miss spots like ears or the neck. Studies have shown that when people apply half the recommended amount, an SPF 60 can still perform closer to SPF 30 in real-world conditions.
That means with SPF 60+, you’re giving yourself a buffer. Even if you mess up a little, you’re still getting solid protection. With SPF 30, those same mistakes could leave you under-protected.
Think of it like this: SPF 60 is your safety net.

Everyday Scenarios Where SPF 60+ Matters
-
At the office: Sitting near a sunny window can expose you to hours of UVA damage.
-
On a quick errand: 10 minutes here and there add up to thousands of hours over a lifetime.
-
During workouts: Sweat can reduce SPF performance—so a higher SPF helps.
-
On cloudy days: Up to 80% of UV rays penetrate clouds.
The moral of the story? Don’t save your sunscreen for beach trips—it’s your 365-day shield.
The Science Backs It Up
Dermatological studies have shown that:
-
People using higher SPF products had fewer sunburns and less DNA damage in skin cells compared to those using lower SPF.
-
Long-term daily sunscreen use significantly slows visible aging like wrinkles and sagging.
-
In one trial, SPF 70 performed twice as well as SPF 15 when participants applied less than the recommended amount.
This is why dermatologists recommend higher SPF for everyday real-life conditions.

Absolutely. Modern sunscreens like Solar Bliss SPF 60+ are formulated for daily wear and are safe for long-term use.

Yes—UVA rays penetrate through windows and contribute to aging and pigmentation. Indoor workers near windows are at risk too.

Yes. Bebo & Co Solar Bliss Sunblock is lightweight and non-greasy, making it perfect even for oily or combination skin.
