Top 4 Best and Affordable Sunscreen For Your Skin

Do you know summer is around the corner? Oh yes, it is coming and it is time to look around and pick correct sunscreen to protect your skin.

Sunscreens are available in a variety of preparations (sprays, lotions, creams) and potencies (SPFs typically range from 15 to 100). Some things to know before you buy: Ingredients are directly connected to protection. There are two types of ultraviolet (UV) rays: UVB light causes common surface sunburns, while UVA light triggers deeper connective-tissue damage (like premature aging and skin cancer). In addition, there are two kinds of skin-damaging UVA rays - short waves and long waves. Experts say a good sunscreen should protect users from UVA and UVB rays.

Here are top 4 best and affordable sunscreens for you and your family:
