hello everyone. i'm already dark complexioned and have a very oily skin. and i tend to become tanned fast when i go out in the sun. the tan usually remains for almost a month. i use sunscreen lotion on my face. its kinda effective. i use spf 15. how and on what basis do you guys decide the spf suitable for your skin ?

Well, I usually don't use any sun block, and instead use outdoor (or indoor) tanning lotion.

. Unless I'm NOT trying to tan, in which case, I'll get like 45 SPF or the highest amount that's out there.

SPF 25 is for all skin types, i use that, it is not of much use to me also, i just put in on whenever i leave outdoors, moreover, i skin seems to get darker after using it and some white patches form in the skin if i go out immdtly...so, have just stopped using any form of SPF now, my skin quite okay now
