On tanning oil does higher ..

OK let's get one same page.

1. You tan because you have experienced a burn. You have exposed your skin beyond the amount of time which your skin can normally protect itself from UV exposure. But the skin is built with the ability to reacte to this for the next time by producing pigment to add more protection.

2. There are methods (physical and chemical) which have the ability to increase the ability of the skin to withstand the amount of time that your skin cane be exposed before the above happens. And a formula was created in order for people to get a clear picture as to how long that time can be. Called SPF (skin protection factor).

1. SPF means Sun Protection Factor using this equation. Take the time you would normally burn in the sun without protection. 20 minutes would normally produce redness on a light skinned individual.

2. Multiply that number by the SPF factor of your product. Example: with an SPF 15 X鈥檚 20 minutes of sunburn time = 15 x 20 = 300 tells how many minutes you may stay in the sun without burning. 300 minutes divided by a 1 hour of 60 minutes = 5 hours of sun protection without sunburn.

Hope this helps.

i dont think the spf matters in the tan-(ness) lol. but it helps your risk of developing skin cancer with a higher spf! good luck but i think baby oil works best with a layer of sunscreen underneath
