How Long Your Sunscreen Will Actually Protect You. Dermatologists Findings - HealthFeed Network

Don't get overly comfortable in the sun, just because you put on a sunscreen. According to Business Insider, a sunscreen's sun protection factor--or SPF--is only fully effective for two hours after you put it on. It's especially essential to "refresh" sunscreen in certain burn- and skin cancer-prone areas of the body and face, like the top of the ears, the forehead, the cheeks, and the nose. Experts recommend carrying a bottle of SPF 30 to SPF 50 sunscreen around with you, even on cloudy or rainy summer days, so you can throw some on if the sun comes out. You can still get a tan with sunscreen on, because while SPF blocks damaging UVB rays, it doesn't prevent deep-seeping UVA rays from penetrating your skin and giving it color. And while a nice tan may make you look healthy, it's actually a signal from your body that it's in full-blown protection mode.
