Which sunscreens would be suitable for me?

We recommend going with the Reihaku Hatomugi, Kose Suncut, and Verdio sunscreens as they come in large bottles and are pretty affordable.

Another sunscreen we liked was the Shigaisen Yohou sunscreen because this one also comes in a large bottle

You can also use the other sunscreens we mentioned above but we think these 3 are the best body sunscreens to use.
