I've seen SPF numbers on sunscreen and other skincare products, but I'm not sure what they actually mean. Can someone explain what SPF stands for and how it works to protect my skin from the sun's rays?

It signifies the duration it takes for the sun's UV rays to redden your skin when the product is used correctly.

Essentially, the SPF number compares the time it would take for your skin to burn with sunscreen to the time it would take without any protection.

For instance, if you apply an SPF 30 sunscreen, it theoretically takes 30 times longer for your skin to burn compared to not wearing any sunscreen at all.
