We have a page on sunscreens that can help you understand about the different light sensitivities and sunscreens.
Many of us are sensitive to both UVB and UVA light. Most sunscreens only protect against UVB light leaving us
unprotected against UVA light. Newer sunscreens protect against UVA light. Do you get "burned" through car windows?
If so, then you might be sensitive to UVA light and a UVA sunscreen can be beneficial.

Sunscreen reviews
If you want to write a sunscreen review that I can link to the website, just post a new message with "Sunscreen
review for name of sunscreen" Let us know if you liked or hated the sunscreen and why. Too sticky, white, makes a
difference in your sun tolerance or not, etc. What is your medical condition and your light sensitivity if you know
it (UVA, UVB, or visible).
