How much is 15 SPF?
SPF, or Sun Protection Factor, measures how well a sunscreen protects the skin from UVB rays, which can cause sunburn. An SPF of 15 blocks about 93% of UVB rays. This means that if you would normally burn after 10 minutes in the sun, using SPF 15 could allow you to stay in the sun for approximately 150 minutes without burning, although reapplication is crucial for continued protection.
Does the SPF count?
"The Sun Protection Factor (SPF) displayed on the sunscreen label ranges from 2 to as high as 50 and refers to the product's ability to screen or block out the sun's harmful rays. For example, if you use a sunscreen with an SPF 15, you can be in the sun 15 times longer that you can without sunscreen before burning. Consumers need to be aware that SPF protection does not increase proportionally with an increased SPF number. While an SPF of 2 will absorb 50% of ultraviolet radiation, an SPF of 15 absorbs 93% and an SPF of 34 absorbs 97%." from http://www.melanomafoundation.org/prevention/facts.htm
