WHAT SPF DO YOU NEED? Follow these steps to calculate what SPF you should look for in a sunscreen: 1. Determine how many minutes your bare skin can be exposed to the sun before it burns. 2. Divide that number of minutes into the total number of minutes you want to remain in the sun. 3. The result is the SPF you should look for in a sunscreen. For example, if your unprotected skin burns in 10 minutes, and you plan on being in the sun for three hours, you would need a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 18 (180 minutes divided by 10 minutes). 4. Equally important as the SPF number is to sun protection is the active ingredients must include a minimum of 5% Zinc Oxide or Titanium Dioxide.
