1 Your skin type
Optional: background hint
Only shown as a rough guide next to your quiz result. Your answers about how your skin reacts to sun matter far more.
2 Your current tan
A tan only adds a little protection (roughly SPF 2 to 4), so this changes the result modestly.
3 Sunscreen
Most people apply about a third of the amount used in lab tests, so we count sunscreen at one third of its label SPF.
4 Location and UV

Enter latitude and longitude
Estimate clear-sky UV from the sun's position and the ozone layer. Good for planning ahead or offline. Clouds are not included, so real UV may be lower (or higher near water, sand and snow).
No UV yet. Share your location or search a city.
Override the UV index
Handy if your weather app or the Bureau of Meteorology shows a different reading.
