The myths of sun protection

1.      The difference of realistic and practical value applied on skin
The practical value is 2mg/ cm2 on skin during the experiment for sun block lotion. The realistic average consumption of sun block products is 0.5-1.25mg/ cm2 a day. That means needing to supply the lotion frequently to meet the experiment effect.    
2.      The effectiveness of higher SPF
According the testing, SPF 15 will protect 93% of sun light. SPF 30 will protect 96.66% of sun light. The sun protection factor is double, but the filter rate only increase a little.
