Sunscreens are either physical or chemical as per composition and are selected based on skin type. They are either cream-based, gel or powder-type. Physical sunscreen has titanium oxide acting as a barrier and protecting skin from UV-B rays. Chemical sunscreen contains components that can imitate the heat in the surroundings. Sunscreen with SPF greater than 30 is recommended. PA gradings of more than 3 have greater sun protection for extended durations.
