Whats the highest SPF they make these days as I seem to burn every year?
I think they make 70. But didn't they come out with a study that anything over 30 or 45 is superfluous? You just have to really remember to reapply every 2 hours.
"Does a sunscreen with an SPF of 30 provide twice the protection as one that has an SPF of 15? No, a sunscreen with an SPF of 15 provides protection against 93% of UVB rays, while one with an SPF of 30 provides 97% protection. Keep in mind that a sunscreen with an SPF of 2 only provides 50% protection, so be sure to use a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15-30. Many experts question whether using a sunscreen with an SPF above 30 provides much more protection, since you are already blocking 97% of UVB rays. "
So, a 70 SPF would provide more protection than a 30 or 45 SPF, but since it's a lot more expensive and provides only a very teeny, tiny bit more protection, it's really not terribly worthwhile money-wise. I'm sticking with my cheapo CVS 45 SPF lotion (put on before you go out in the sun) and cheapo, CVS 45 SPF cooling spray-on (a much cheaper version of the Neutragena, if you have CVS around you) for reapplication during the day.
