I am not into tanning or getting sunburn. I can get tan easily but I am definitely not prone to burning. I am hoping to locate a sunscreen or lotion with SPF which is best for my sensitive, sometimes dry, skin. Any help would be appreciated!

Most good facial moisturizers contain SPF 30. You can use them on face, chest, arms.

My son has excema so we've used vanicream for years. I have sensitive, dry skin and I use it as well.

I usually buy the sport 35 since the other is overkill for everyday use. It goes on white and you have to work it in, but it provides great coverage compared to a lot of the mainstream brands sold in the stores.

I've had to order it online but it's worth the hassel for us.

You should try Eucerin Daily Protection Moisturizing Lotion (it used to be called Everyday Protection). The body lotion has SPF 15 and the face lotion is SPF 30. I do some work with the team and all their products are designed for sensitive skin. You can pick it up at the drug store, and it's definitely worth checking out.

I second Eucerin for moisturizing dry skin - especially irradiated skin. In fact, it was recommended to me by my medical team while I undergo radiation treatment.

For regular sunscreen, I'd also recommend a paba-free/parabin-free kind like Neutrogena (they make several and a few in particular for sensitive skin)

Neutragena has some suntan lotions that are good for your skin.
