What is the true difference between SPF 30 and 50? Various research states that the SPF (sun protection factor) is a number that helps determine roughly how long you can stay in the sun for without burning vs your norm without protection. For example, if your skin would usually burn after 10 minutes of sun exposure, then an SPF 30 estimates protection for 300 minutes and an SPF 50 estimates 500 minutes of protection, however this can differ based on skin sensitivity and the strength of the sun rays.
