Beauty news: The Claim: With Sunscreens, High SPF Ratings Are Best, New York Times (reqs registration)

Article mentions several sunscreen facts we may want to put to memory:

SPF, or sun protection factor, of 30 blocks about 97 percent of ultraviolet rays. A rating of 15 means 93 percent of UV rays are blocked, and anything higher than 30 remains in the 97 or 98 percent range.

Some studies have shown that people typically apply just 10 percent of the amount recommended.
