We only get one face.  Thus, it is our duty to take care of it the best way that we can.  This means layering our SPF products like moisturizers and cosmetics so they count if we want to preserve the youth and health of our skin. Therefore, it is important to understand how to properly use those various sun protection factor products.

SPF products don’t accumulate in the amount of protection just because you are using several different products with various SPF levels.  For example, if you apply a moisturizer with SPF 15 before your foundation with SPF 18 does not give you SPF 33 protection–-only SPF 18.  

If you are looking for more SPF protection, you need to turn to a product with a higher SPF.  Just remember, an SPF number only indicates how long you can safely stay in the sun.  The number has nothing to do with the strength of protection.
