Question : Could you suggest a good sunscreen product to use while swimming? I need this extra protection due to photoallergy that could create a rash on my arms. I have checked a couple of products but do not know which one would be suitable - VLCC Hydrophobic Sun block lotion, Bioique 50+SPF Water-resistant sunscreen. Are these good enough or would you recommend any other product? Thanks a lot
