You want a product that\u2019s effective, natural, affordable, and if you\u2019ve got little ones, you\u2019ll want a sunscreen specifically formulated for their sensitive skin.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We\u2019re here to help. We\u2019ve reviewed the best sunscreens to help you make the choice that\u2019s right for you.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

What Type and Level of Protection Should You Use?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

SPF (sun protection factor) <\/strong>measures the length of time a product protects your skin against skin reddening from UVB, compared to how long the skin takes to burn without it. For example, if it takes twenty minutes to begin reddening without protection, using an SPF 15 sunscreen theoretically prevents it for up to fifteen times longer \u2013 about five hours. To maintain the SPF, make sure to reapply sunscreen every two hours and right after swimming.<\/p>\n

The Canadian Cancer Society<\/a> recommends using an SPF of at least 15 \u2013 <\/em>or at least 30 if you are going to be outside for a full day, are sun sensitive, have previously had skin cancer, or have a high risk of developing skin cancer. An SPF of 15 blocks 93% of UVB rays and one of 30 or higher blocks 97%.<\/p>\n

Broad-spectrum protection: <\/strong>This means that a product shields against UVA as well as UVB rays. Most broad-spectrum sunscreens and sunblocks with an SPF of 15 or higher do a good job against UVB and short UVA rays; if they also contain avobenzone, zinc oxide, or titanium dioxide, they should be effective against the entire UVA spectrum.<\/p>\n

Even with the ideal sunscreen, some UV rays can get through to your skin and cause damage. The Canadian Cancer Society states that \u201c\u2026sunscreens are not meant to be used so that you can stay out in the sun longer. They are meant to increase your protection when you have to be outside. Use sunscreen along with shade, clothing and hats, not instead of them.\u201d<\/p>\n

So now that you\u2019re a sunscreen expert, it\u2019s time to decide which sunscreen is best for you and your family! Read on to see some of our top picks for every skin type and situation.<\/p>\n
