Sunscreen recommendations for radiation irritation on face?

A good lotion like Curel or something with aloe in it helps a lot. Sunscreen isn’t going to do much beyond temporary moisture.
Radiation burn is rather common in my opinion. Most radiation oncologists can recommend or prescribe if need be lotions to use. For me it was sunburn lotion along with Curel.

Thanks so much. Curel is definitely a well-regarded moisturizer, agreed. We've been using Aquaphor for that purpose. And of course we can turn to our aloe vera gel, if he needs that sort of relief (which hasn't happened yet, thankfully). I'm asking about sunscreen specifically as a way to avoid further damage to the skin from sun exposure.
