Answer 3

You wont tan a bit

Answer 4

I use a SPF70 sunblock and no, I do not tan at all. The higher amount of SPF helps keep the UVB/UVA (the tanning and burning rays) away from you. But if you get wet or if you perspire a lot, be sure to reapply the sunblock right away. If you aren't getting wet and you aren't going to be out in the direct sun, the you can probably reapply the sunblock every two hours, just to be safe, and wear some sort of hat that will keep the sun off your face.

Just remember. The lower the SPF, the better chance you will have of burning or tanning. Anything above SPF45 is really good, but I am partial to the very high SPF products.

And also remember to apply the sunblock at least 20 to 30 minutes before you go out in the sun to make sure it soaks in good.

I have seen really good Dermatologists most of my life and they always remind me to wear sunscreen. Here is a link that might be of some help to you.

I hope this helps you!   ☺

Answer 5

No.  It just means you will be able to be outside 70 times longer than it would normally take you to burn/tan.

Meaning, if you could be outside in direct sun for 10 minutes before you burn, then you would be able to be outside for 700 minutes before you acheive the same burn.

If you want to get no color at all I recommend you wear a hat and protective clothing

Answer 6

Yes.

Make sure that you reapply  

Answer 7

Most likely, please don't forget to wear a hat, and reapply approximately every 2 hours.

Apply at least 20 minutes before you go outside, and you are supposed to use at least 1 ounce per application.
