Without sunscreen, it takes 10 minutes to get a mild sunburn. Then, if you use a sunscreen SPF 15, it means, in theory, that sunscreen will protect you 15 times 10 minutes. In true life, sunscreens are diluted by sweat or when you go in the water, so sunscreen has to be reapplied more often. READ MORE

It depends on the severity of the acne. OTC cleansers are usually for mild acne. READ MORE
