The Sun Protection

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. 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, (Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency said this). 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.

But one thing you must know, SPF is only a measure of a sunscreen's effectiveness against UVB rays. So you might have poor sun protection even if you are using the highest SPF sunscreen, unless it also lists sunscreen ingredients that blocks UVA rays.

In general, a sunscreen with:

• SPF 2 blocks 50% of UVB rays
• SPF 4 blocks 75% of UVB rays
• SPF 8 blocks 87% of UVB rays
• SPF 15 blocks 93% of UVB rays
• SPF 30 blocks 97% of UVB rays
• SPF 50 blocks 98% of UVB rays
• SPF 100 blocks 99% of UVB rays

Ultraviolet radiation is broken into three types of wavelengths:

• UV-A: This is the longest wavelength and is not absorbed by the ozone. It penetrates the skin deeper than UV-B.
• UV-B: Responsible for sunburns. It is partially blocked by the ozone layer.
• UV-C: This is totally absorbed by the earth's atmosphere; we encounter it only from artificial radiation sources.

To have a protection against UV, these are the ingredient should be found in it at the least.
Arobenzon
benzophenones
helioplex
merxoryl SX

So what have I been using for my face. My body for this sunny sun

KOSE - Sekkisei sun protect essence gel (SPF50+/PA++++)

totally love this watery essence gel, the texture is smooth and light. Its for someone who love great protection yet doesnt feel anything on the face.

Laneign sum block (for face) (SPF50+/PA+++)

Love the water base texture of this product. Very clean feel as it does not create a creamy effect or stickiness feel on my face.the t exture is watery. As it's claim to be waterbase. It's not creamy nor oily. A little of it helps cover the whole face.

CLIO sun protection UV CC Mist. (For body)

SPF25/PA++

Love the spray mist which is so easy to apply. However. The texture are a little thick. Somehow or rather the stickiness on the body might not be everyone's favourite. However, comparing to those lotion type sunblock. The texture of this mist is not as thick as it is. 

This is good for touch up.

The Face Shop sunblock (for body) (SPF40+/PA+++)

Its very sticky and greasy, it suppose to be on the body not on the face.
