Everybody’s Free (To Wear Sunscreen)
The best sunscreens protect against both UVB (ultraviolet radiation with wavelength between 290 and 320 nanometres), which can cause sunburn, and UVA (between 320 and 400 nanometres), which damages the skin with more long-term effects, such as premature skin aging. Most sunscreens work by containing either an organic chemical compound that absorbs ultraviolet light (such as oxybenzone) or an opaque material that reflects light (such as titanium dioxide, zinc oxide), or a combination of both. Typically, absorptive materials are referred to as chemical blocks, whereas opaque materials are mineral or physical blocks.

SPF is the inverse of the proportion of UVB that penetrates the sunscreen:

UVB_{penetrating}=\frac{1}{SPF}\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad(1)
UVB_{penetrating}+UVB_{blocked}=1\quad\quad(2)

Substituting equation (1) into (2):

\frac{1}{SPF}+UVB_{blocked}=1
UVB_{blocked}=\frac{(SPF-1)}{SPF}

Thus a sunscreen with an SPF of x blocks a proportion (x−1)/x of UVB:

All I really want to do

is melt into your smile,

absorb your laughter,

and catch the shimmer in your eyes.

Then I wonder really, if we are thinking the same thing.

Love actually isn’t that complex after all.
