Is SPF 15 enough for daily use?

SPF 15 can provide some protection against the sun's harmful rays, but it may not be sufficient for everyone, especially during prolonged outdoor activities or in strong sunlight. For daily use, especially in the UK where UV levels can vary, a higher SPF is often recommended to better protect against skin damage. It's important to consider individual skin types and sun exposure when choosing sunscreen.

Key points:

• SPF 15 blocks about 93% of UVB rays.
• Higher SPFs offer better protection for extended sun exposure.
• Skin type affects how much protection is needed.
• Daily use is important even on cloudy days.
