anybody care to explain also about this SPF rating?

matsalams

sun protection factor or SPF determines the amount of time we can spend under the sun without burning our skin. it normally takes about 20 mins for a fair skinned person to start getting a sun burn. just multiply 20 mins with the SPF on the sunscreen your using and you'll get the amount of time you can spend under the sun without burning. libog? ok for exampe: your using a sunscreen with SPF 15 and you have a fair skin which normally starts to burn in 20 mins under the sun.

15 (spf) x 20mins = 300 mins or equivalent to 5 hrs

so meaning using an SPF15 can protect you from burning for up 5 hrs. but take note that i'm using an example of a "fair skin" person. so try to adjust the minutes according to your skin tone and if you burn easily. but generally use sunscreen with at least SPF of 15 or higher para di libog ug kwenta-kwenta and use a higher SPF if your planning on staying under the sun for a veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery long time and normally we are adviced to re-apply sunscreen every 2 hrs if your doing an activity that makes you sweaty. if your swimming use a waterproof sunscreen.

Sunscreen Myths - Busted! (by Leslie Baumann, M.D.) -http://health.yahoo.com/experts/skintype/2096/sunscreen-mythsbusted

Myth No. 1
I don't need sunscreen. I'm spending the day inside. Are you sure? Remember that UVA rays can easily penetrate windows of cars, buildings, even airplanes.

Once you total the time you spend in the car or near a window in the office - plus those quick trips outside - you might be very surprised at how much sun exposure you're getting. Daily SPF of at least 15 is a must (and you can get it in many moisturizers and makeup products to keep your morning routine simple!).

Myth No. 2
It's best to put sunscreen on the second I get to the beach to maximize its effectiveness.

Remember that it takes 30 minutes for sunscreen to adequately penetrate your skin. Put it on at home instead.

Myth No. 3
Between my SPF 15 moisturizer, SPF 15 foundation, and SPF 15 powder, I'm up to a total SPF of 45. If only it worked that way.

When you use three SPF 15 products, you actually end up with an SPF of ... 15. No adding. If you used products with different SPFs, though, you will end up with the highest protection of the bunch.

Myth No. 4
I put sunscreen on my arms and legs, but the rest of my body is covered by clothes. Careful - the average cotton T-shirt actually has an SPF of about 5, far short of your SPF 15 minimum.

If you plan to spend a lot of time in the great outdoors (golfing, beaching, gardening, etc.), be sure to cover your entire body with sunscreen before getting dressed. You can also purchase special sun-protective clothing through a variety of Web sites.

Wishing you great skin!
