HOW TO PROTECT YOUR SKIN FROM TANNING IN SUMMERS USING PROPER SPF SUNSCREEN

KNOW ABOUT SUN PROTECTION FACTOR (SPF) AND CHOOSE YOUR SUN SCREEN TO PROTECT YOUR SKIN FROM TANNING

WHAT IS SUN PROTECTION FACTOR (SPF) ...??

SPF, or Sun Protection Factor,is a measure of how well a sunscreen will protect skin from UVB rays, the kind of radiation that causes sunburn, damages skin, and can contribute to skin cancer.

The SPF (Sun Protection Factor) scale is not linear :

• SPF 15 (93% protection) allows 7 out of 100 photons through

• SPF 30 (97% protection) allows 3 out of 100 photons through.

So, while you may not be doubling your level of protection, an SPF 30 will block half the radiation that an SPF 15 would let through to your skin.
