WHAT DOES SPF MEAN?

SPF refers to a sunscreens ability to protect against UVB rays, the burning rays of the sun. SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor, FDA would like to change it to Sunburn Protection Factor.

 

Dont think that SPF 30 offers twice the protection of SPF 15. In actuality, SPF 30 only blocks 5% more UVB than SPF 15, and SPF 50 blocks only 1% more than SPF 30.

 

To be on the safe side, everyone should apply sunscreen every 2 1/2 hours.  SPF refers to a sunscreens ability to protect against UVB rays, the burning rays of the sun.
