Sunscreens are rated by a sun protection factor, or SPF, which is a multiplier of the amount of time the skin can be exposed to the sun before experiencing sunburn.
It is important to note that the SPF is not cumulative; in other words, reapplying a sunscreen after being in the sun for a period of time does not extend the sun protection factor; it will only replenish the protection that may have been washed away by perspiration or during swimming.
To protect children from the damaging effects of the sun, apply sunscreens with an SPF of at least 15 and encourage them to wear hats with visors.
