A recent article from the AAD says, “Sunscreen lotions with a sun protection factor (SPF) value of 70 or above provide better protection than those with an SPF of 30 or 50, even when under-applied,” according to a study published online April 1 in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology.
It’s interesting that even when a sunscreen with an SPF of 70 was under applied, it still had better results than properly using a sunscreen with a lesser SPF.
