SPF: know your numbers

• No sunscreen is 100% UV-proof. Protect yourself with shade, clothing and sunglasses too.

• The average adult should apply one generous teaspoon of sunscreen on each limb and side of their body plus another ½ teaspoon on their face.

• Reapply every two hours. Your sunscreen may be waterproof but it can’t resist rubbing off with a towel or all-day perspiration.

• SPF is not cumulative. Layering SPF 10 make-up over SPF 15 does not add up to SPF 25 – you only have as much protection as the highest SPF product supplies.

• Always slather on your sunscreen 20 minutes before leaving the shade.
