hello dear
thanks for your query at HCM
you can use sunscrean lotion like sunban or suncross which contain spf at range of 20- 30 . these will have less side effects
if still not controlling your sun effects you can go to creams with higher spf up to 50 but these will have sideffects like dryness and itching
