For Indian skin, a sunscreen with SPF 26 or 30 usually does the job.
Most sunscreens with SPF 30 are able to block around 97% of the UVB rays.
You must opt for the water resistant variants and the ones that come in gel form.

Keep yourself hydrated and include plenty of fluids in your diet. Steer clear of foods that would heat your body from within. Maintain a healthy skin care regime - exfoliate and moisturise regularly. Use herbal masks and face packs to nourish your skin and keep it tight yet supple.
