Here are some things to look for in a sunscreen:
- Broad Spectrum -- Look for products labeled with "broad spectrum" to protect against both ultraviolet A and B rays.
- Ingredients -- You want zinc and titanium dioxide to be included in the ingredient list.
- Pure -- Doctors caution against using sunscreens with colors and fragrances, especially for kids, because some of the essential oils used to scent and color sunscreen are not safe for kids or babies.
- Reapply -- Reapply sunscreen every two hours, no matter what the bottle says.
