sun lotion/ spf15
What does sun lotion actually do and do to your skin? Is those things that say SPF15 and stuff a sun lotion or are they in a different category?
If you wear a lot can you prevent getting a tan?

Sun screen, or sun tan lotion, protects your skin from the harmful UV rays of the sun, while at the same time allowing the melanin in your skin to use those rays to develop vitamin D. SPF 15 simply means your skin will only get the damage the sun would give you in an hour over a span of 15 hours. Make sense? You can definately still get a tan with sun lotion. If you want a good tan, use a lotion that is at least SPF 8 and no higher than SPF 15. If you don't want a tan, use SPF 45 or higher. It really depends on your skin type.

well sun lotion or as its usually called a sunscreen lotion protects you from sun's harmful effects n yeah that includes tanning. The "SPF" is called the sun protection factor and its rating represents how effective it is...the higher the rating the better it works....spf 50 is supposed to be pretty good but watch out its pretty oily so you wont wanna put it on your face...spf 15 is good enough for the face.

When you refer to "sun lotion", I'm not sure if you mean a sunblock lotion or a tanning aid. I'll assume you mean a sunblock lotion, but forgive me if I'm wrong.
Sunblock works by blocking or absorbing ultraviolet light. All sunscreens are labeled with an SPF, or Sun Protection Factor. The SPF acts like a multiplying factor. If you would normally be OK in the sun for 10 minutes and you apply an SPF 10 sunscreen, you will be OK in the sun for 100 minutes. In order for the sunscreen to work, however, you have to apply plenty and it has to stay on. You should apply it about half an hour before going out in the sun (or the water) so it can bind to your skin -- if you don't, then it is very easy for the sunscreen to wash off.
The SPF rating, by the way, applies only to UVB radiation.

It protects you from the suns' harmful rays, which helps prevent skin cancer as well. It prevents you from getting a tan, so I suggest tanning oil sun screen!
