An SPF of 20 means that the sunscreen can theoretically protect your skin from UVB rays for 20 times longer than if you were not wearing any sunscreen. For example, if you would normally start to burn after 10 minutes in the sun, SPF 20 could provide about 200 minutes of protection (though this varies based on factors like skin type, activity level, and reapplication). It's important to apply sunscreen generously and reapply it every two hours, or more often if swimming or sweating, to maintain its effectiveness.

What does SPF 70 mean?
SPF 70 indicates that a sunscreen provides a high level of protection against UVB rays, which are primarily responsible for sunburn and can contribute to skin cancer. The SPF number measures the amount of time you can stay in the sun without getting burned compared to not wearing sunscreen. For example, if you typically burn after 10 minutes of sun exposure, SPF 70 theoretically allows you to stay in the sun for about 700 minutes without burning, although this is a simplified calculation and actual protection can vary based on factors like skin type, water exposure, and reapplication. It's important to apply sunscreen properly and reapply regularly for effective protection.
