Questions we get asked

SPF 50 or SPF 100?

Both are very high protection, and Bioderma Photoderm Max SPF 100 and Banana Boat Sport Ultra SPF 100+ are here if you want the highest number. Applying enough and reapplying as the pack directs matters more than the number.

What is the best sunscreen for the face?

The one you will wear every day: a fluid or gel for oily skin, a cream for dry skin, a tinted fluid if you want coverage. Our guide How to choose a sunscreen for the UAE sun goes through skin types.

Can I use body sunscreen on my face?

Check the label: many say face and body. Face fluids are lighter and less likely to feel heavy in the heat. Not sure which suits you? Ask a BMG pharmacist in any branch or on 800 2647.
