No matter how good skin you have, the sun will still burn through your skin and possibly give you skin cancer. Some people thinks that it will help to but on some regular body oil instead of sunblock so they will get a tan out of the sun. Don't worry you will still get a tan without that oil, but the risk of you getting skin cancer is now higher.
So which sunblock is best to use? Is it true that the most expensive one is the best one? The answer is NO, the price don't have anything to do with the quality of the protection. The best thing to look for is the numbers on the sunblock. I think in US the highest is 100 SPF (sun protecting factor) but that is unnecessary because there is a reason why they put numbers on the bottles. Our body can be exposed to the sun for 10 min before the burn kicks in and a bottle of SPF 30 will give us 30 times better protection than our own natural protection which will be 300 minutes or 5 hours. But unfortunately that doesn't mean that you are good to for 5 hours, because we sweat and the sweat takes the lotion away from our skin so it is important to reapply a lots of time during that sunny day.
Do not forget that sunblocks can only do their thing up to a point but things that can help you from getting burned at the beach is to bring with you some items such as, sun hat, umbrella and sun glasses.
