what is the best SPF number to wear on a overcast day?

Question:

Answers:
The highest one out there.....even clouds cant stop the damaging effects of UV rays.

Other Answers:
UV goes right through clouds so wear the same SPF as on sunny days.

dermatologists recommend a minimum of 15spf on any day, whether it is cloudy or sunny. If you want a tan, start with 8spf if you are pale, and then work down to a 4 or 6. If you want complete sun block, use 30spf and then get an indoor tanning lotion so you can get some color.

I hear spf 15 at least every day. I do even on cloudy days since I live in a very high altitude city (2nd highest city in terms of # of cases of skin cancer in the US). So go with at least 15. A lot of lotions, makeup even come with spf 15
