Choosing a sunscreen with an appropriate sun protection factor
The sun protection factor (SPF) indicates how much longer we can stay in the sun compared with unprotected skin.
A person with medium sun sensitivity can generally stay in the sun for approximately 10 minutes without getting sunburnt when their skin is unprotected. After applying a sunscreen with SPF 20, they can be exposed to sunlight for up to 200 minutes.nanosu varovalnega pripravka za sončenje z zaščitnim faktorjem 20 se lahko snončnim žarkom izpostavlja 200 minut.
