In a nutshell:
Avoid chemical sunscreens. Some are worse that others. Oxybenzone, avobenzone, octisalate, octocrylene, homosalate and octinoxate should all be avoided.
Use daily sunscreen on your face.
Sunscreen should be a last resort. Plan your outdoor time wisely. While 10-15 minutes at noon in the sun is great for your body, 2 hours of exposure will burn you and this is when you need a sunscreen.
Never use a spray sunscreen as it can enter your lungs.
Choose a mineral based product with Titanium Dioxide or Zinc Oxide.
