Cassie, you are correct! SPF stands for sun protection factor and the number measures how much the product shields the sun’s shorter-wave ultraviolet B rays, known as UVB radiation, which can cause sunburn.
If adequately applied, sunscreens with sky-high SPFs offer slightly better protection against sun burns than an SPF 30.
For a healthy look, with out the sun damage, use a self tanner like Lancaster Ultra Natural Bronze Care

There is no way to safely tan. When you tan, you damage your skin.
That said, a sunblock SPF 100 will block out both UVB and UVA rays; you will probably have to spend considerable time in the sun to get a tan.
I usually use SPF 70 and my legs, face, neck, and ears are still pancake flour white. I play golf several times a week and I’m in the hot California sun for several hours each time I play. The only reason my arms are tan is I forgot to apply sunblock just once—and I tan real easily.
Have you considered the fake tan? I don’t know how old you are, but if you are young, you might want to consider it. I’m 50 and I’m so glad I didn’t bake my skin in the sun! I have some fine lines, but compared to many women my age—I’m very smooth. I don’t have any crow’s feet; no major wrinkles—just something to think about.
