Sunscreen Question

And the last question from Amy.

Is sunscreen that is SPF 50 REALLY the best???

SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor. In theory, an SPF of say, 30, should mean that you do not burn until you’ve had 30x as much sun exposure as when you would have burned. 50 would be 50x. This varies according to the various factors… Someone’s skin type, when they’re reapplying, if they’re swimming or doing sports, etc.

So, yes. It is better IF it’s being applied properly, reapplied every two hours. And I should probably note that you should use sunglasses, hats, and long clothing to protect from the sun. But in answer to your question. Yes. It’s better. A little.
