How much SPF do i need??

[charish]

i use 15,unless i'm out in the sun for a long time then 30 or more.

haha, guess nobody has ever heard SPFs over 30 have no better effect. That is pretty funny. Check the FDA's regulations and SPF research guys. SPF 30 is the best protection you will get

I use 30, and its obviously better if you're going to be in the sun longer /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

SPF 15 is adequate, but 30 is better. I use 30 because I don't want to worry about having to reapply it throughout the day, plus it just happens to be the formulation of my most favorite sunscreen moisturizer ever, DDF photo matte spf 30 sunscreen.

SPF 15 for sure. I usually don't go below 25.

Are you using anything perscribes by a Dermatoligist? or are you trying to get rid of dark spots?

I use SPf 30 since i use Aclaro which has 4% hydroquinone for my dark spots...i use Nutrogena Healthy Defense. Its moistruzing and doesn't leave a white film from the zinc- its blocks UVA and UVB rays. my face has never looked better /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I like the feel of 15, but with laser I had to bumb it up to 30. When I plan on being at the beach for a long time I use 45.

 

[gatorificus]

I use an spf 30 because I'm one of those "if one is good, two is better!" type people. I'm fairly pale as well. I just wish more moisturizers were made with spf 30.

 

[geebers]

I prefer SPF 30 - but I use spf 15 because it is in my daily moisturizer.

 

[lummerz]

you are wasting your money if you are buying SPF 45 or even SPF 30 ! It doesn't protect you any more than SPF 15. and no....adding SPF's doesn't equate to SPF 90!

 

[magosienne]

avoid drugstores sunscreens, buy some made by brands like la roche posay.

 

[sheil2009]

why? A sunscreen is a sunscreen, they are all made by the same ingredients! In fact, you will get lesser protection from a more expensive sunscreen b/c most people are hesitant to slather it on, but that is what you need to do to get they full spectrum protection. Drugstore sunscreens are fine, I like Neutrogena Dry Touch SPF 30, but i wouldn't use it if you have oily, combo or acne skin

Oh and Lummerz, actually SPF 30 can have quite an impact over SPF 15, but anything over has no added effect. Basically, SPF 30 is the best one can do

I use spf 15. I really never burn, and don't spend much time in the sun anyway. But everyone says spf 30 is "the new spf 15". So I'm not sure what to think. I just make sure to use a good one with zinc oxide and try not to worry too much about it.

 

[pinkette]

i am currently using spf 15 because it in my moisturizer, but i wanna start using 30

 

[Shelley]

I tan very easily but I use SPF 30.

 

[geebers]

Not true...you do get added benefits from higher spf. And you CAN layer. It wont equal the number but layering another spf does give you added protection.
