Yes, it does, but sunscreen with 100 SPF isn't much higher in protection that 30. 30 SPF blocks about 97% of the UV rays, but 100 SPF blocks maybe about 98-9%, so there really isn't much difference.

Would adding spf 30 sunscreen to spf 50 sunscreen make it spf 80 sunscreen?

No. SPF 30 lets in 1/30 of burning UV rays, while SPF 50 lets in 1/50. Adding the two together is pointless and would not result in high levels of skin protection.


Will you get a good tan if you use spf 45 for 2 days and spf 30 for 2 days and spf 15 for the remainder while on Caribbean vacation and you have fair skin?

How long is the vacation? You are still apt to burn with fair skin if you are using SPF 15 for 7-10 days longer.


What rays does SPF block?

Should be UVA and UVB. Read the labels, and use at least SPF 15 up to SPF 30 if you are very fair or freckle easily.


What is the highest SPF facial sunblock can be purchased in?

It was probably SPF 30 because that blocks 96.7% of UVB rays. SPF 50 blocks 98% so you aren't really getting that much more protection than the SPF 30. Neutrogena has a SPF 100 but it really isn't necessary because as I said, SPF 30 is already blocking a significant amount, and SPF 50 doesn't even make that much more of a difference. Just for your information, SPF 100 blocks 99% of UVB rays so it REALLY doesn't do much more than SPF 50.


What does the SPF number on the sunsceen label mean?

The SPF number on a sunscreen label stands for Sun Protection Factor. This means if the SPF is 30, this means you can stay in the sun 30 times longer than you would be able to without wearing sunscreen.


How do you prevent sunspots?

What spf number do doctors recommend?

It has been recommended my medical experts that you should apply sun-screen with a minimum Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of 30. SPF 30 means it can protect you 30 times better than if you didn't have it. Remember that even if you have sunscreen on, you can still get sunburnt. The best sun protection is still shade. Avoid the sun during 11am and 2pm where the sun is most intense.


Does it matter what kind of SPF sunscreen you wear?

It does. The higher the SPF, the higher UV protection it contains. Let's say you have a sunscreen with a 30 SPF and one with 60, the one with 60 offers more protection.
