the melanin helps protect your skin, but it is not very strong.

It can protect you on a fairly warm day, but when its hot, you really should wear suncream/sunscrean.

They come in many variaties,

serums that sink in instantly, roll-on's that are quite handy,

or just plain suncream in squeasy bottle,my favourite:)

becuase its simple.

If you really want to protect yourself, the hotter the day, the higher the factor.

I wear a 30 on average, especially on holidays.
