    The SPF value is the main thing that will be labeled on every bottle of sunscreen. The scientific sun protection index refers to the ratio of the energy required to produce the smallest erythema on the ** coated with sunscreen protection and the energy required to produce the same degree of erythema on the ** without any protection, simply put, it is the multiple of the time to resist ultraviolet rays. For the yellow race, it was calculated like this:

    The average yellow person** can withstand the sun for 15 minutes without being burned, so the use of SPF15 UV protection products will have about 225 minutes of sun protection time. Objectively speaking, the level of sun protection index reflects the UV protection ability of sunscreen products. The higher the SPF index, the greater the protection given, but the increase in SPF value is not directly proportional to the ability of the screen to block UV rays.

    Generally speaking, the SPF of the lowest sunscreen is SPF2 6, the medium sunscreen is SPF6 8, the high sunscreen is SPF8 12, the SPF value is in the range of 12 20 is the high-strength sunscreen, and the SPF value between 20 and 30 is the ultra-high-strength sunscreen.

Therefore, sunscreens for UVA will play a more effective role, and products labeled with PA have such a function in order to reach the bottom layer of the dermis in the shortest possible time, preventing ultraviolet rays from damaging the elastic fibers and causing ** aging. In general, the intensity of the PA is expressed by , and one more indicates the extension of the effective protection time.

    Specifically, the effective protection time of PA is about 4 hours. The effective protection time of PA is about 8 hours.

It is determined based on the lowest erythema dose.
