How much sun protection is provided on the UPF or SPF scale?

I ride a Harley for hours at a time wearing the sleeves. I am also a very pale red head. The sleeves are VERY good at protecting the skin. I never wear sunscreen on my arms now. the longest I have ridden is 5 hours on a 90 degree day and I noticed an ever so slight pinkness but nothing approaching a sunburn.

The description says UPF 40+. I would recommend putting sunblock on underneath and reapplying. I have noticed still getting sunburn after many hours in the sun if I don't re-apply some sunblock during triathlons.

It is regular face lotion with some SPF. If you were going to be in the sun for an extended period you should definitely supplement this with sunscreen

Theoretically a little over 3. I have not seen over2.2 usually just under2. 2.2 was ideal sun exposure and cleaned panel.

Yes its a high spf. I even wore it when i went to cancun and my face didnt even get burned. I put regular sunscreen on my body and i got burned on my shoulders and chest. So i was impressed with the sunscreen in this. Trust me it looks flawless on and i love how it goes with your skin color when you tan, so no more switching shades.

You might want 2. I used probably 1/2 in 3 weeks or so. Make sure it is SPF 30 and you won't need to use suncscreen. I used it on everywhere except face.

I do not know, but I have been using this product for many years and it is the best sunscreen I have ever used.

From my understanding UPF is for protection from the sun because of UV rays. The seller advertises UV protection with these gloves. It sounds like you are talking about the same thing.

It only has an SPF of 4 so if you burn at all, you will definitely need sunscreen.

Not sure. I did not buy the shirt with spf in mind. If this is not specified on the amazon product description try the Exoffficio website. This is one of my favorite and most worn shirts.

The one I have does not have sunscreen (I work indoors all day and I actually avoid sunscreen unless outside for more than an hour) but on the container is says that they do make one with SPF of 15.

Yes, but with a caveat: SPF 35 is sufficient, as long as you apply enough and reapply every couple hours or after getting wet. SPF higher than 30 doesn't provide significantly more benefit, since SPF 30 blocks 97% of UVB rays and SPF 100 (which I don't think they're legally even allowed to claim anymore) only blocks 99%. That's a lot more active ingredient for really marginal benefit. So just find a sunblock your skin doesn't hate, and use a TON of it, and you'll be good.

UV Clear SPF 46 is formulated for skin types prone to acne, rosacea and hyperpigmentation. UV Daily SPF40 is a moisturizing sunscreen for normal or combination skin types, which is also tinted. I assume that translates into having different ingredients, hence, the difference in price. I know there was a price difference at my doctor's office as well. Like I stated in my review, I had to exchange the SPF40 for the SPF46 because the 40 caused my face to turn red. The 46 truly is much milder for me and doesn't cause any irritation. You can check you their website at eltamd.com for additional product info.

I didn't get their SPF lotion, and have achieved a great tan! I use a regular Banana Boat SPF 30, and it's fine.

Yes. Unfortunately, If you are sensitive in the sun, this may not work for you. I am not 'cool' under this product, as a really effective UPF umbrella would be. I continue to 'tan' under this umbrella, which is an indication I am still getting 'burned'. The fabric on this product does not offer effective protection from the sun for sensitive skin.

I don't know about this one. I use Healthy Defense Daily Moisturizer with sunscreen that says broad spectrum SPF 50 on the front.

The formula is SPF 32. The bullet points contained a typo. FDA changed the OTC monograph in 2011, enforceable in 2012, and we had to have all the formulas retested under it, instead of the 1999 monograph, which while never enforced was still the proper way to test sunscreens. The formulas tested a bit higher under the 2011 monograph, but inconsequentially; the difference in protection between SPF 20 and 32 is about 2% (95% vs 97%) given the non-linear mathematics of SPF and UV protection. The formula is labeled correctly at SPF 32.
