1. In the context of skin care, choose products with SPF protection factor just like creams, depending on your skin type. Therefore, it is possible that you will have to buy a separate product for body and face. But it really pays off, after all you surely don't normally rub your face with body lotion. Normal to dry skin needs hydration, oily or combination will suit creams with gel consistency, water-based or with mattifying effect. Owners of sensitive skin should look among hypoallergenic products, designation "anti-redness" is also not harmful.

2. As for the division of SPF products in the context of functioning, you have a choice of physical and chemical. The former reflect UV radiation and are suitable for sensitive skin. Their disadvantage is that they are heavy and leave white spots on the skin. Chemical creams absorb rays. They are quickly absorbed into the skin, but at the same time mean higher risk of allergic reactions.  

3. It doesn't matter whether you buy oil, cream, spray or lotion. Tanning oil is the most greasy of all options, so if you have oily skin or prone to acne, avoid such products. Creams are emulsions of oil in water, they are absorbed more easily. The least greasy version is represented by lotion, spray and foam.
