Welcome to Cancer Chat Kriszti.
When it comes to sunscreen there are so many brands out there these days that it becomes a bit hard to choose, doesn't it?
Your best bet is to speak to your dermatologist as they'd be able to recommend brands that are sure to do the job. Your GP may well have some advice, too.
And then there is some information on our web page about skin care after skin cancer I wanted to share with you and that might be of interest: Skin care after skin cancer.
I hope this helps.
Best wishes,

Hi Kriszti!
I am sunscreen obsessed so I have a few suggestions for you. First of all, Badger sunscreen is really nice and gentle - they have a few different kinds (creams or a small stick for touch-ups).
If you're looking for something nice and soft on your skin, then Aloe Pura brand is good.
Or if you want to spend money, then La Roche Posay makes a very fancy line of different sunscreen products, and they're amazing. I think it's called the "Anthelois" line? They have different ones for your face and body - sprays and creams. One line is "matte" which feels nice and dry but with good coverage. A family friend of mine had skin cancer earlier in her life, and she found that this brand has been reliable and amazing in the decades since. (Also, nice loose fitting clothing and a hat, but I'm sure you know that already!)
