When it's unplugged and turned off! Ha ha ha. As you can see, the blood vessels are no where near the epidermis. A tan generally gives you an additional SPF protection of 2-4. However, that amount of protection pales in comparison to that when using a good sunscreen, like the EltaMD SPF 41. http://thetriplehelixian.com/2013/04/26/how-much-exactly-is-2-0-mgcm2-the-amount-of-sunscreen-necessary-to-achieve-the-labeled-spf-rating/ http://thetriplehelixian.com/2013/04/26/how-much-exactly-is-2-0-mgcm2-the-amount-of-sunscreen-necessary-to-achieve-the-labeled-spf-rating/#comments Fri, 26 Apr 2013 19:04:10 +0000 John http://thetriplehelixian.com/?p=3090 ]]> http://thetriplehelixian.com/2013/04/26/how-much-exactly-is-2-0-mgcm2-the-amount-of-sunscreen-necessary-to-achieve-the-labeled-spf-rating/feed/ 0 confusion4 thetriplehelixian http://thetriplehelixian.com/2013/04/25/the-meaning-of-spf-and-how-antioxidants-and-anti-inflammatories-can-skew-exaggerate-and-mask-those-ratings/ http://thetriplehelixian.com/2013/04/25/the-meaning-of-spf-and-how-antioxidants-and-anti-inflammatories-can-skew-exaggerate-and-mask-those-ratings/#comments Fri, 26 Apr 2013 06:42:45 +0000 John http://thetriplehelixian.com/?p=2926 Continue reading »]]> http://thetriplehelixian.com/2013/04/25/the-meaning-of-spf-and-how-antioxidants-and-anti-inflammatories-can-skew-exaggerate-and-mask-those-ratings/feed/ 44 mischievous thetriplehelixian How sneaky of you... I know this is an bell curve for IQ scores, but translates surprisingly well for the sun's UVB output. 55 = sunrise (~6:00 AM), 85 = 10:00 AM, 115 = 2:00 PM, and 145 = sunset (~6:00 PM). This is why medical organizations recommend avoiding the sun exposure from 10:00 AM-2:00 PM--when the sun the strongest. DNA_UV_mutation_svg Hush! Devita SPF 30?
