    It is needless to say that sunscreen is a must-have to protect your skin from the harmful UV rays and to get a healthier tan, especially during summer. But you should be very careful while choosing the right sunscreen for you among those many available in the market. A quality sunscreen should contain ingredients like Zinc Oxide, Titanium dioxide, Oxybenzone, Sulisobenzone and Avobenzone so that it can protect you from both UVA and UVB rays.

    For those who have to stay under the sun for more than 4hours, SPF 30 or above will work best. Your choice of sunscreen should be based on your activities; for example, if you need to stay under water or do some strenuous work that may lead you to sweat vigorously, you should go for a water resistant sunscreen. Those having an oily or acne prone skin should choose an oil-free base sunscreen. Lastly, if you are allergic to these things, you should look for a PABA free sunscreen to avoid allergic reactions.
