Which sunscreen should I use?
Which sunscreen should I use? "People ask me all the time what's the best sunscreen and it's really the one you're going to use every day," advises Levin. Whether it's a physical sunscreen or a chemical one, she just wants you to use it. "I suggest broad-spectrum and that it be SPF 30 or higher.
