You’ve probably been applying the sunscreen this summer, and have bought extra bottles on holiday to cover you and your family as you play and have fun in the sun. But what does SPF mean, and can having a higher SPF mean that you can stay out in the sun for longer – or apply sunblock less?

SPF (sun protection factor) is the numerical rating that denotes the extra time a product will allow you to stay outside before you start to burn according to the Daily Mail. A sunscreen with a rating of SPF 15+ would provide a fair-skinned person 15 times more protection for their exposed skin than if they didn’t use a sunscreen, says the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency. So if a person starts to burn after 10 minutes in the sun, correctly applied SPF 15 will provide protection for 10 times longer or 150 minutes.

However, sunscreen is rarely applied in real life as it is in lab-testing conditions, and it sweats and rubs off, so never assume you’re safe for the entire period. Your best bet is to re-apply a high-factor sunscreen every two hours.
