Is it necessary to use sunscreen and moisturizer?? if yes what are the affordable sunscreen and moisturizer for sensitive dry skin?

Sunscreen is definitely necessary. Moisturizer is optional. We do not recommend any particular products here on HealthTap, but you should use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF Rating of 30 or higher. Good luck.

Sunscreens of 15 or higher are best. The higher the number, the better the protection. You can buy them at any pharmacy without a prescription. Too much exposure to sun over the years can lead to Melanoma, a skin cancer, that is deadly. Be safe and use protection.
