I am unrealistic to think that because I have quite dark skin, I only need SPF 20 for my face? A makeup counter employee told me I need to be using SPF 35, which I had never heard of before. I even thought I was overdoing it by using the SPF 20 but ok, they say it keeps you young.
What is the verdict? Is SPF 20 enough for me? I do tan very quickly and have never burned in my life. What do u say and what do u do if u have skin like mine, so skin that is quite dark naturally but also tans quickly?

I will continue with the SPF 20 and quit worrying about it then, and perhaps use SPF 30 only if I plan to spend lots and lots of time outside. Thanks!

Yes, SPF 20 is enough for you, especially now that you have clarified you do not spend very much time outside. You say you have dark skin but not how dark. Black people of African descent have a natural SPF in their skin of about 13, which goes a long way, while white people only have a natural built-in SPF of about 3 or 4. The lighter you are and the more time you spend outside, the higher the sun protection factor you need. In any case, SPF 20 for the face is more than enough for most people of any skin color.

So, I got really light skin but I have the same question about sunscreen on a daily basis. Sun, we ain't got it right now. But I've heard that you need to wear sunscreen even on those really overcast, dark and gloomy days. So my questions relate to that, really, not just how to adjust the SPF you use to your own skin colour but also to the climate in which you live. I strongly assume that people in Australia have to wear stronger sunscreens than we do here, LOL. But which is the right one for my skin and what exactly is the difference between UVA and UVB? I think not all sunscreens cover for both, right?
