About
This Date
Sunscreens either block or absorb ultraviolet light. They are all labeled with a Sun Protection Factor. To understand SPF, just multiply. If you would normally be fine in the sun for 10 minutes, you can apply a SPF-10 sunscreen and be fine for 100 minutes. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends that we all use a SPF-15 or higher and apply it to all areas of the body that are exposed to the sun. Reapply the sunscreen every two hours, even on cloudy days.
