Sunscreen option to avoid sunburn

2020-06-28 10:32:13
Hi.... I have oily skin in summer and dry in winters. Can I use zinc oxide powder as a sunscreen for outdoor games. Will it help to avoid sunburn. Are there any possible side effect of the same. If it is good for skin protection against sun, what should i purchase.... Zinc oxide powder or lotion. Suggest some brand also.
