Tanning and freckles are caused by UVA exposure. SPF rates the level of UVB protection, but not UVA protection. Most sunscreens do not provide adequate UVA protection.

Look for a product with a high critical wavelength value. this is a UVA rating being promoted by the American Academy of Dematology. Any product with a CW over 370 is excellent UVA protection.

a internet search of CW and sunscreen should be helpful.
