Beauty Tip

SPF is somewhat confusing term that stands for Sun Protection Factor, it refers to the amount of UVB rays a sun screen protects you from. The higher the SPF number, the longer you can remain in the sun without getting burnt. For instance, a SPF of 15 would allow you to stay in the sun 15 times longer than you could if you were unprotected.
