Common conclusions

Dermatologists recommend using a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30, which blocks 97% of the sun's UVB rays and igher-number SPFs block slightly more of the sun's UVB rays, but you should know that no sunscreen can block 100% of the sun's UVB rays. You need to reapply your sunscreen every two hours.

Health experts advise everyone, regardless of skin color, to use sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30. Although dark-skinned people will not get sunburned as quickly, they will still burn and are still susceptible to sun-induced damage. You should try Oil Free Moisturizer SPF 30 of Mario Badescu or Chem-Free Active Defense SPF30.

You should know that you can still get tan while wearing sunscreen SPF 30. You need to apply thirty minutes before venturing outside to allow the sunscreen to bind to your skin. You also need to reapply every two hours of exposure and immediately after swimming or excessive sweating. You should apply SPF to your scalp, the tops of your feet, ears, and other places you can easily miss, but you should also drink plenty of water, wear a hat, and protect your eyes by wearing sunglasses.

If you do not want an extra layer of protection then you should use a sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 30, because going higher can add an extra layer of protection. Do not forget to reapply the sunscreen every two hours and after going in water.
