Any good cream to protect skin from being tanned in summer?

Sooo hot summer. Love it but afraid to get tanned.
I don't want to be tanned by the hot sun.
Does anyone know some sunscreen cream? It should have good protection to sun. Price is also important, not too expensive.

Coppertone, Neutrogena, Avène, and La Roche-Posay all make pretty good sunscreens and are generally affordable. You don't need any more than SPF 50, and you would likely be fine with SPF 30, given there is only a one percent difference in protection between the two.

Are you looking for sunscreen for the face, body, or both?

I have no idea.

Also, I think European regulations on this may be different from US regulations. You'd have to research this to their standards.

Search Lisa Eldridge channel on YouTube, she has various sunscreen videos which also cover European brands. She is incredibly informative

I use Loreal sublime sun. Its got a broad spectrum so works well with most skin types. It a bit pricey than most normal sun lotions but i love it because i dont end up feeling greasy after applying it.
