☀️ Did you know that a sunscreen with SPF 15 provides about 94% UVB protection? But don't be fooled, increasing to SPF 30 or even 50+ only adds a 3-4% difference. 😲 Remember, the effectiveness of sunscreen depends on how it's applied and reapplied. Most people apply it too thinly, miss exposed areas, and forget to reapply regularly. 😎 So, while SPF 15+ can offer adequate protection when used correctly, higher SPFs provide that extra safety margin for those who may not use sunscreen as they should. Stay sun-safe! 🌞✨
