What is the best sunscreen for babies?

Shade. Shade, blankets, clothes, hats, etc. That's the best way of protecting your baby's skin. That said, a trip to the beach is something every parent and child should experience, and bundling up a toddler in layers to spend a day in 100 degree heat is generally not considered good parenting. So, for that, there's a great compromise. You can use mineral sunscreens to protect your youngsters from the sun. If you live in the US, choose a sunscreen with zinc oxide with or without titanium dioxide. Do not use aerosol sunscreens, anything with SPF over 50 (it's a waste or money and provides no extra protection), or anything containing oxybenzone. Reapply at least every two hours or sooner if your kid gets wet.I simplified my explanation here because everyone want the best for their kid and and you can get bogged down with information. The sunscreen technology in the US is antiquated so you will have better options if you live in Europe.

What is the best sunscreen for people with a fair complexion?

There is no specific sunscreen for people with a fair skin. The sunscreen which blocks harmful UVA and UVB rays is best for skin.

Do Indians really need sunscreen?

Contrary to popular belief, people with dark skin still need to use sun protection. While darker-skinned individuals, like those with skin types V and VI, can stay safely in the sun for longer than lighter-skinned individuals, sunburn isn’t out of the question. In fact, 10.9% of black 18-29 year old Americans surveyed by CDC said they experienced a sunburn in 2010¹. Sometimes a sunburn on dark skin does not appear red, but rather tight, painful, or hot to the touch². It’s important to protect your skin from the sun, regardless of your skin color, to minimize your risk of sun damage³. Check the ingredients of your sunscreen – if you see zinc oxide or titanium oxide, it may leave a chalky film on dark skin. Sunscreens with oxybenzone should not.Melanin is a naturally occurring pigment in the body which is responsible for the colour of your skin. The more melanin you have, the darker your skin. Melanin offers some natural protection against UVB radiation. Dark skin is said to have a natural SPF of 13.4, whereas light skin is said to have a natural SPF of only 3.4³. But there’s a caveat: even sunscreen with an SPF of 15 (offering more protection than naturally dark skin) blocks out only 93% of sunburn-causing UVB rays⁴. This means that by skipping the sunscreen, even if you have dark skin, you’re still exposing your skin to some harmful UVB rays.If your skin looks chalky after applying sunscreen, chances are you’ve used a product containing zinc oxide or titanium dioxide. These are known as mineral or physical sunscreens, and while they can be great for people with sensitive skin, they can leave a white film on your skin. To avoid this, try a chemical sunscreen instead.All in all, everyone, regardless of skin type, should take care to protect their skin from the sun, considering that a single tan or sunburn increases your risk of developing skin cancer.

Which type of sunscreen is better, a physical sunscreen or a chemical sunscreen?

My first response will always be the one YOU wear without fail, every day. You may very well switch to an SPF 15 if its mid winter and you don;t leave the house,and switch to over SPF 100 if its warm and you cannot get in the shade consistently during the day… (though please note that using a higher SPF is no excuse to remain in the sun any longer!THAT is the single biggest reason given as to why more beauty gurus do not recommend SPF 100.but I ALWAYS use the highest I can find meanwhile I stay in the shade as much as humanly possible, down to carrying umbrellas,down to keeping my shoulders and back covered if I am out during the day.I am deadly serious about protecting my skin from the sun.Not only am I extremly fair,my father had 7 skin cancers cut from him so, melanoma is in my family.That said.what are your priorities?If texture is so big of an issue that you debate whether you can deal with extreme greasiness,or if you are so dark that you cannot tolerate a whiteish cast to your skin, you may wish to opt for chemical sunscreen.. Be advised that not all the sunscreen chemicals protect against the UVAs.The ones that DO are Avobenzone,Mexoryl and Tinosorb S and Tinosorb M.That said, I am very very pale myself and I would prefer the physical sunscreen.The main ones are Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide.Zinc oxide works by absorbing UVBs and reflecting some of the UVAs.Other advantages of physical sunscreens are,you will not risk any irritation or allergic reaction with a physical sunscreen.And that whiteish cast will show you that indeed you did give coverage.Most people do NOT apply enough SPF to get the protection sated on the label.If you are wearing makeup over it any color should not matter as you will be covering it with your foundation.Sunscreen can get on dark clothes but a good scrubbing (am I the only one here who still does her laundry by hand?) WILL lift it out.Even if it is white and your clothes are black.
