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.
An SPF of about 30
SPF 20
In order for any sun tan product to provide any protection it has to have a high SPF number. The lower the SPF number, the lower the protection. Most dermatologists recommend an SPF number of at least 30.
They recommend about 30 SPF of Higher. But it also depends on how fair skinned you are, and how thin your skin is. The lighter the skin, the higher the number. Also, re-apply it every 2- 3 hours while out in the sun.
The SPF number in sunscreen indicates its level of protection against UVB rays, which cause sunburn. The higher the SPF number, the greater the protection. For example, SPF 30 blocks about 97 of UVB rays, while SPF 50 blocks about 98. This means that a higher SPF number offers more sun protection.
The minimum is factor 15.But it should be much higher for children [factor 25-30].

Yes.
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.
Lip balms, chap sticks, and lip moisturizers do not always have SPF in them. If they have SPF protection, the number will be printed on the tube or the packaging.
