What is SPF?

SPF (Sun Protection Factor) is a measure of how effectively a sunscreen will protect your skin from UVB rays, which are the type of radiation that causes sunburn and can contribute to skin cancer.

Here’s a breakdown of what the SPF numbers mean:

Protect yourself from the sun's rays

Use this guide to help you choose an SPF based off your skin tone and the number of hours you plan to spend outdoors. Reapply at least every 2 hours or as directed on the package to help ensure sufficient protection.

The Ultraviolet (UV) Index

The UV index predicts the ultraviolet radiation levels on a 1-11+ scale, and provides a daily forecast of the expected intensity of UV radiation from the sun. View your local UV index forecast, and take the proper precautions to protect yourself.

Frequently asked questions

       How much should I pay attention to SPF?

• Sun Protection Factor (SPF) measures how much solar energy is required to cause a sunburn when you're wearing sunscreen.
• Higher SPFs offer more protection, but they don't last longer than lower numbers, so reapply them just as often.

        How does UVA and UVB protection work?

• The sun emits two types of light rays that damage your skin: Ultraviolet A and Ultraviolet B. UVB rays cause sunburn, are shorter and unable to penetrate glass. UVA rays affect your skin beneath the surface, even when you can't feel it burning.
• Look for sunscreens labeled "broad-spectrum" "UVA/UVB protection" or "multi-spectrum to shield against both types of rays.

        What's the difference between physical and chemical sunscreens?

• Physical sunscreens (mineral-based) contain ingredients like zinc oxide or titanium dioxide. They create a protective barrier on the skin's surface, reflecting and scattering UV rays.
• Chemical sunscreens (organic-based) absorb UV rays and convert them into heat. Choose based on your preference and skin sensitivity.

        How often should I apply sunscreen?

• Reapply every 2 hours or immediately after swimming, sweating, or towel-drying.
• Even water-resistant sunscreens lose effectiveness over time. Consistent application ensures continuous protection.
