This depends where you are located. In hotter countries i used 30 and got an amazing tan! But in places such as Canada and Cooler States i often only use a 15 and don't get nearly as great of a tan. If you want a hot tan for back to school, or even just to feel great about yourself; you might have to experiment with different SPF's and different brands. Yes, even brands will determine how much of a tan you get. If you have paler skin start with a 30 (or higher) and work your way down as you get more tanned. If you are darker skinned I would start with a 15, and see how you are from there.
Good luck, and hope this helped my soon to be gorgeously tanned friend.
(EDIT BY KABOB34: SPF 8 is good, as well as SPF 15.)
sunscreen.
Sunscreen in itself is not necessarily good for you- I mean, if you put it on and then stay inside all day, it won't do you any good. But if you're out in the sun a lot, sunscreen is a really good idea. Sunscreen protects your skin from the sun's UV rays which may be very harmful to your skin. The sun is very hot, and may give you a sunburn, heat rash, or even skin cancer if you are out too much without sunscreen. Sunscreen doesn't guarantee you WON'T get any of these, but it will help lesser the chances. Tip: ALWAYS WEAR SUNSCREEN!

Not always, but they can. It depends on the severity of the burn. Taking good care of the rug burn while it is still healing can prevent scarring.

This is a simple process to understand, although it may be difficult to actually do. In any day when your physical exertions use up a greater number of calories than the number which you have eaten that day, the result is that you will burn fat.
Well if the fuse is good, it could be a blown bulb. If the bulbs are good. Check you headlight switch.
