Consumer Reports tested sunscreens to see how well they protected against two types of the sun’s rays: UVA and UVB, which cause aging, skin cancer and sunburn.
From lotions to sprays to sports- and reef-safe versions, sunscreens can have a dizzying array of confusing labels.
Sunscreen is that magic elixir that helps protect you against skin cancer and premature aging, and the best part is that it’s easy to find and inexpensive. But with so many choices, how do you know which one to pick? To evaluate SPF, or sun protection factor, which is a measure of how well a sunscreen protects against UVB rays, expert testers apply sunscreen onto panelists’ backs, then have them soak in a tub for 40 or 80 minutes, depending on the sunscreen’s water-resistance claim. Their backs are then exposed to simulated sunlight. The next day, the area is examined for redness.
