I would recommend a sunblock constaining both (micronized) zinc oxide and titanium dioxide and spf 30-40 would be ideal. Using a higher spf means that you can stay in the sun longer without burning, however you must top up every 2 hours, to maintain that level of protection. An spf 30-40 blocks approximately 97%-98% of UVB rays and no sunblock can block 100% UVB rays. A sunscreen with zinc oxide and titanium dioxide gives broad spectrum UVA protection also. Take care : )

Hi, I can recommend a sunscreen that I use from a company called Arbonne. I take medication that makes me very senstitive to the sun and I have tried so many sunscreens. I tried this one and it totally protects me! I can go out in the sun now without long sleeve shirts on and am totally protected. I even put it on my face and no not break out. You can view it in their online catalog at http://www.wonderful.myarbonne.com Good luck to you.

Definetly use a min of 15 brand name does not matter. On your face use a moisturizer with 15. Sunscreen is generally too heavy and oily for the face.
