Whether it's summer or you live in a sunny climate or going on vacation to a tropical island, SPF can keep you protected from the harmful UV Rays of the sun.

Avoid that ugly not to mention unhealthy sunburn.

SPF calculates the amount of time you should be in the sun based on your skin type and your local UV Index. It uses your GPS location to dynamically choose your UV Index.

Know your "(sun)burn time"! By entering your sunblock protection factor (SPF) you can see the important difference of being in the sun with and without protection.

The app uses the phone's GPS to default your local UV Index. Then just select your skin type (see description below) and enter your sunblock's spf number.
