SPF refers to the amount of sun exposure time allowed before a person’s particular skin type begins to burn. An
SPF value is assigned by the manufacturers of sun protection cosmetics for items such as sunscreens, lipsticks,
makeup, etc. For example, using sunscreen with an SPF of 4 indicates a person can be exposed to the sun 4
times longer without burning than without using any sunscreen.
