Minutes before - how long can you last burn in the Sun and be sure yet?

What does really mean SPF?

SPF is an acronym for Sun protection factor, and it is a calculation based on how long it will, take for someone, the about suspended, UVB rays in the sunscreen than not wear too.

Many people think that it represents the number of hours that can stay in the Sun, if you apply the sunscreen. Unfortunately, this idea may be the unexpected number of Sun-related skin cancer, which have seen many countries recently. Sunscreen even can a false sense of protection and unknowingly, give people subject themselves to harmful UVA and UVB rays.

How to use the SPF as a practical guide:

The calculation is not so difficult. It is basic multiplication: your skin type x SPF = minutes maximum protection.

For example, a fair skinned person who burns to be protected after 10 minutes without a sun cream for 60 minutes, if he or she uses a sunscreen with a sun protection factor 6 (10 minutes x 6 SPF 60 minutes of protection).

Assuming that you have applied the right amount of sunscreen, below are the MAXIMUM-minutes, one would expect, in the Sun be sure, based on your skin type and SPF.

Light for fair skin

Without sunscreen of SPF value is NULL, and you can expect to feel about start suspended after 10 minutes.With sunscreen: SPF 6: 60 minutes (1 hour) SPF 15: 150 minutes (2.5 hours) SPF 30: 300 minutes (5 hours)

Average skin

Without sun protection SPF is 0 (zero) and the maximum number of minutes is 15 with sunscreen: SPF 6: 90 min. (1.5 hours)SPF 15: 225 minutes (3.75 hours.)SPF 30: 450 min (7.5 hours)

Darker skin

Without sun protection SPF again NULL and the maximum time 20 Minuten.Mit sunscreen: SPF 6: 120 minutes (2 hours) SPF 15: 300 minutes (5 hours) SPF 30: 600 minutes (10 hours)

Seduced by these figures.

Keep in mind that the real life is no mathematical formula. Depends on how long you may be exposed to the Sun:

What is your skin type and how sensitive is the Sun?You apply sunscreen in the right amount?You are involved in, any physical activity that the sunscreen is diluted out lead would, washed or sweat away?

To take into account another thing is that most people are not the sufficient amount of sunscreen. If so, the total time is significantly reduced. You apply sunscreen 15 to 30 minutes before you are in the Sun and again after any physical activity apply optimal protection.
