Sunblock advise

2019-02-26 05:39:55
Hello, I wanted an advise regarding an effective sunblock cream to use, since summers are fast approaching now. Most of the commercial brands available have parabens and other harmful chemicals in them, that are having damaging effects on the skin. Could you recommend a sunblock product (for a skin type which is generally oily to combined) (skin tone : wheatish to fairer) Thanks !
