What does the SPF number mean?
The SPF number indicates how long it would take for the sun's UV radiation to redden your skin when using the sunscreen as directed, compared to the amount of time without any sunscreen. For example, SPF 30 means it would take you 30 times longer to burn compared to not wearing any sunscreen.
Which is better: SPF 20, SPF 30, or SPF 50?
SPF 20 blocks approximately 95 percent of UVB rays, SPF 30 blocks around 97 percent, and SPF 50 blocks about 98 percent. While the difference in protection between SPF 20 and SPF 50 is relatively small (around 3 percentage points), it's important to note that the frequency and amount of application are crucial. Regardless of the SPF level, sunscreen should be applied generously and reapplied frequently to maintain adequate protection throughout the day. Applying sunscreen every two hours and after swimming or sweating is recommended to ensure proper coverage and protection.
Does SPF 20 prevent burning?
While SPF 20 provides significant protection against the sun's UV rays, it does not guarantee complete protection from burning. The effectiveness of sunscreen depends not only on the SPF but also on the frequency and amount of application. It is crucial to apply an adequate amount of sunscreen and reapply it regularly, especially after swimming or sweating. Additionally, seeking shade, wearing protective clothing, and avoiding peak sun hours are important for reducing the risk of burning.
