Which Sunscreen is right for me and my family?

There are numerous sunblock and sunscreen lotions to choose from, raging from SPF 15 to SPF 85 or more. So which one should you rub on? Actually, skin professional tend to divide sunscreen lotions into two groups – the ones that are under SPF 50 and the ones that are above. The first category is for people with normal skin, and the second category is for people who are more likely to develop skin cancer, or people with light skin who get burned easily.



When we go to the beach, or take a day trip, we tend to apply only a very thin lotion of sunblock, which means that if we use a little amount of SPF 15 we actually use something more like SPF 3 – that is the reason why using SPF 30 to 50 is recommended by skin specialists. When buying a sunscreen, make sure it has a UVA protection and try to apply it generously, about 30 minuets before you leave home, so it will have time to sink in. Repeat every two hours without skipping sensitive areas like the ears, feet and scalp!
