If you’re only going to be spending a few minutes here and there in the sun, using a face moisturizer or aftershave with SPF 15 is usually sufficient to protect your skin from burning.
If you're extremely active and plan to spend most of the day outside, a water-resistant sunscreen with a higher SPF, such as SPF 30, is a better option.
For pale, sensitive skin that burns easily, it’s best to use a sunscreen with an SPF 50.
