Basically, the higher the SPF of the product, the lesser the skin damage and extra sun prevention. Sunscreens are available in different SPF levels from SPF 15, SPF 30 to SPF 50, and more.
SPF 15 will keep you 93% protected from UV-B radiations, whereas SPF 50 will save you 98% defended from the UVB rays.
Therefore, if you have to stay out in the sun, you should use a higher SPF product.
