Question

I'm going to cancun, what kind of lotion should i bring to stay safe from sun?

Answer 1

The sun here is very intense...we are close to the Equator.

If you plan on going snorkeling a bio-degradable sunscreen is a "must". There are many manufacturers.

You can also order online a biodegradable product made here in the Yucatan and pick it up here when you arrive.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

SPF 45 is good but make sure its waterproof and apply often.

Answer 3

If you are fair skinned, start off with the highest SPF you can find. I have a olive complexion and I used 30 SPF and I still got a bit burned. Keep applying after swimming, apply if you are out walking around and absolutely apply  generously if on a boat excursion.

The sun is very hot. As you tan, you can use a lower SPF.

Have a great time. Oh, and wear a hat and sunglasses. It's lousy to get a sunburn on your head or wake up with puffy eyes. Enjoy)

Answer 4

If your fair skinned or tanning make sure your lotion has UVA/UVB and apply often. Obviously, for fair skin, the 50 to 85 spf is best, but I think that what's most important is reapplication and ... tan before you go. I know tanning beds are not the in thing right now, but you should condition your skin to sun.

Answer 5

If you're prone to burn (fair skinned) use 45--and don't worry, you'll still get a great tan!
