"Hi, I am Kelli on behalf of Expert Village. I am going to teach you how to properly care for your skin today. The last item that we are going to do in our skin care regime is we are going to apply an SPF. SPF is really important. It is going to help to block any UVA or UVB damage that will cause our skin harm. UVA is aging rays caused by the sun and UVB are burning rays. It's usually the UVA rays that do more harm to the skin. A couple of different kinds of SPFs that you can purchase, a chemical SPF is something that can absorb and neutralize the rays and a physical SPF will help to actually block and reflect the rays. So we are using a physical block on her that has a titanium dioxide and a zinc oxide blend. So this will guarantee that those rays will bounce right off of her face and she won't feel any effects from them. "
