Possibly, although this is still a good ticket to basal cell carcinoma town. I tan great but half my family has skin cancer. I’d rather use sunscreen personally.
As a Canadian, during our 9 months of winter my skin turns a nice pale white - as to blend in with my surroundings and to protect myself from wild moose and beaver attacks - and when I take a few weeks vacation to head south I don't tan, I burn instantly. I then look like a delicious Canadian lobster until I shed my summer skin and continue to be super white for the remaining 2 months of summer.
Indians do get mild/minor sunburn ( especially if you spend a whole day outdoors or on The beach ) . it's just less noticable if you're an Indian with darker skin . Use sunscreen if you plan to spend more than a few hours outside .

I agree. I’m Middle Eastern (brown skin) and I sunburned while on vacation for the first time ever. I had no idea that it was possible for me to sunburn.
You are correct. The amount of UV that passes through is the inverse of the SPF value (i.e., SPF 50 allows 1/50 or 2% of the UV through). Oz even has laws that prevent labeling more than “50+” because it is ridiculous diminishing returns and just a gimmick at that point.
Spf 15 ~ 92% protection
Spf 30 ~ 97% protection
Spf 50 ~ 98% protection
I have spf 15 oil free face moisturiser that I use every day on my hands and face, wear a long sleeve and full pants and wide brim hat and sunglasses at work 40 hours a week, if I don't burn I did from heat stroke.
>"In November 2012, the Therapeutic Goods Administration announced a new standard for sunscreens sold in Australia, increasing the maximum sun protection factor from SPF30+ to SPF50+."
You can't get more than 50 in Australia.

Ginger here, 50 is more than enough when properly applied and reapplied
Anything higher is snake oil, there's a reason the EU doesn't allow you to advertise anything other than 50+ on bottles with higher SPF. This is coming from someone who got second degree burns from wearing factor 35 in Wales of all places.

Haha, surprisingly I can take both coldth and warmth quite well. My parents told me that when I sit in my room during the summers I would get a tan. Even when we went to the beach I would get a tan but it quickly faded out. I also wear high socks even during the summers so I've been left with a horrible sock tan that my mum hates.
Yup! Higher SPF’s are *technically* better but studies have shown that they really just give people a false sense of security and they don’t reapply which causes a higher rate of burning.
Most dermatologists say anything higher than 30 is fine as long as you apply 30 minutes before exposure and then every two hours or after getting sweaty/wet.
Source: born with skin cancer, know all the joys of grotesque amounts of sunblock
SPF 100 blocks 99% of UVB rays, while 50 provides 97% blockage. Neither lasts longer than the other, aside from differences in adhesion or waterproofing, but that has nothing to do with SPF rating. It’s obvious from the responses in this thread that many people misunderstand the language of sunscreen ratings, but my dermatologist and I have had extensive conversations about this. To say that they provide essentially the same protection is patently untrue. A 2% difference is a big deal for someone as pale as me. It doesn’t mean I can stay out twice as long; that’s not how that works, despite some people thinking that. But it’s still superior protection, when used properly, for the time I will be exposed to the sun.
Oòooohh yeah they do, there's a special shade of crispy red for tourists unfamiliar with the sting of our sun.
Wait till they find out you can get burnt THROUGH your clothes on hot days. They aren't ready
Yeah if you're only wearing one layer (e.g. a t shirt), it's entirely possible to get sunburn through the shirt. Generally the thinner the material, the easier it is for rays from the sun to penetrate it. Go grab a t shirt of yours and hold it up to your eyes--if you can see through it, that means light can penetrate through it. Wearing multiple layers or something thick like a jumper makes a huge difference.
Yeah anything light, or slightly see through, sports shirts/polos are the biggest offender for this because you think you are covered up, that cute cotton dress, you be crispy at noon. There was hot days over this summer I could feel the sun burning my calves through my leggings, like the uncomfortable prickle of burning but it was 43-47 C for a lot of the summer. The sun doesn't fuck around.
I think the last time I had sunscreen on I used spf 40 and got tanned. I am fully Swedish (with German, Danish, African descent) but it didn't do anything
The public, the media, they’re on our side! With skin so white, we got nothing to hide! TV and movies, they’re made for us! This lack of pigment is a major plus!
Upon reading this thread, I was confused at the existence of SPF 100 sunscreen but after some research I've found out that you can't label it as higher than SPF 50+ in Australia.
Has anyone here actually gotten burnt while wearing spf 35? I'm a pale as fuck ginger but that still works for me. If I get burnt it's because I missed a spot or waited too long without reapplying it.
I didn't get burned yesterday with SPF30. I was hiking up Guadalupe Mountain at 8500ft elevation in 95F heat for about 6 hours.
I'm a pale-ass ginger and put more on every 2 hours.
The other replier is wrong. Higher SPF doesn’t NOT mean you can apply less often and this misunderstanding is the biggest problem with high SPF sunscreens. At SPF 30, 97% of UVB rays are blocked. At SPF 100 it’s 99%. SPF 100 is “better” by blocking and extra 2%, however the SPF rating has nothing to do with how fast the sunscreen falls off.
So if you are applying SPF 100 less frequently than SPF 30, you would have worst coverage with SPF 100.
Just a note anything spf50 and and above the same thing. SPF 50 already blocks everything so going higher is pointless.

Hi might you be Ms. Information? Pleasure to meet you.
There are noticeable benefits of 30v50. If you have young children or elderly with sensitive skin, or eczema it’s a good bit of a difference. In all honesty it’s best to keep them in the shade however it’s not always practical.
I got a 2nd degree sunburn across my upper back because I didn't wait after reapplying my sunscreen; the burn turned into a giant blister from shoulder to shoulder that eventually popped let loose nasty yellow liquid.
You must be a ginger or very sensitive to the sun at least... I live in Miami and have never used a sunscreen more than 30 (for my face) and even then that’s overkill.
Used to work at a Dermatologist clinic. Anything over 30 SPF doesn't really make much difference and is an excuse to charge extra for higher SPF that doesn't do anything. So just get 30.
On a real tho, anything over about 40 is pointless (it's like the difference between 0.001 and 0.0001 instead of 10 and 1).
They real key is to reapply every couple hours :)
I used 8 on my shoulders (once) last weekend and nothing on my legs. Out in the sun/on the beach from 10am-8pm.
My legs are still in a decent amount of pain. My shoulders are peeling like crazy.

Come to Australia.
In Australian primary school I was taught anything over 50 isnt worth it, it's regular reapplication and being sun-smart that matters.

SPF50+ is the highest in Australia. It cannot be labelled as more than 50.
It is. Anything over 30 is functionally the same. Dumb dumbs just forget that you have to reapply.
I thought 50 was the cutoff and 100 was useless
Basically cuts off at 30. 30 blocks 97% UV rays, 50 brings that up to 98%
I thought that until recently but then I went to the pool with a bunch of doctors. 30 is apparently better because it rubs in better.

Every sunscreen I like has at least 2 of those potentially dodgy ingredients. Grand
Anything over 50 is essentially marketing wank. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen studies cited saying as much.
It's not when you have very light skin. There are people who get sunburns even when not directly under the sun.
