Simplicite Great Outdoors Moisturiser With Sunscreen SPF15 250ml

This natural moisturizer with sunscreen SPF 15 is light, moisturizing and outstanding for use in the harsh Australian sun and when swimming. True to the Simplicité range, this powerful combination of 17 freshly extracted, medicinal grade plant extracts provide a natural, yet highly effective moisturizer with sunscreen. This product has been designed to provide all the wonderful skin care benefits you'd expect from Simplicité while still protecting you from the sun. It's a light moisturizer with sunscreen SPF 15 - it's sensational for sensitive skin, it's non-greasy and it won't congest your pores!

You may think if the SPF is 'higher' then your sun protection will equivalently rise too. However that isn't the case. While an SPF 15 will block around 93 percent of UVB rays, doubling the SPF to 30 will block 97 percent. That's just a 4 percent increase - for what would appear to be double the dose.

For 'higher' SPFs, those of SPF 50 and more, there is only a one percent increase, never enough to reach 100 percent. Dermatologists say there is no real difference between using an SPF 15 or 30 and using SPF 50 or greater.

SPF levels are also a gauge of how long it takes to become sunburned compared to how long it takes to burn without wearing sunscreen. If you generally take 20 minutes to burn, an SPF 15 should allow you to go 300 minutes before burning. However it is not all recommended nor is it safe to go 300 minutes in the sun before putting on more sunscreen. Ever.
