This is true in particular with the clinical results that have been tested over a period of time. You can always adjust your skin care routine skin's needs (different seasons, hormonal changes, etc.).
2 I do not need sunscreen on a cloudy day.
Clouds do not block the sun's harmful rays. As much as 80% of UV rays that cause sunburn pierces the clouds, so you can still get a sunburn on a cloudy day.
3 A product with SPF 30 provides twice as much protection as SPF 15th
SPF is a sunscreen that blocks ultraviolet B (UVB) rays that cause sunburn, but not UVA rays, which can provide deeper skin lesions. SPF numbers are a measure of the time it would take you to become sunburned if you would not use sunscreen as opposed to the time it would take with sunscreen on. An SPF 15 blocks 93% of UVB rays, while an SPF 30 blocks nearly 97%.

Pores are not muscle and therefore can not open and close. Washing your face twice daily, will keep them free from impurities, which makes them less visible.
