I want to know which sunscreen or sunblock lotion (brand) would be the best to use on the face and the rest of the body. Which one is mild and safe enough to use everyday yet, strong enough to offer worthwhile protection from the sun and to stop from getting tanned. Also, which spf is most recommended for use, does using a greater spf value mean less tan and more uv protection?

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.
