Sun Care

I'm a big fan of the sports sprays.  Works great except it's hard to tell if you missed a spot.  Did a 4hr ride the other day and no burn EXCEPT a couple spots on my back that I missed....ouch! 

Have yet to find a decent face product that is sweat proof(doesn't require frequent reapplication) and doesn't cause breakouts. 

I swear by Blue Lizard products.  They work better than anything else I've ever used, and I'm in the Florida sun (GO NOLES!!!111ONE!!! by the way).

I agree Bullfrog is my favorite.

I use spray and lotion. I love spray, but there's times where I've used it and totally thought I covered myself, when all that happened was that I ran out of fluid and was spraying myself with mostly air. That meant burns or really dark tans. More often than not I'll spray myself then use lotion for the more sensitive areas, like the lower back. 

I rarely use anything when I swim. Even an hour and a half, which is usually the longest I go, is not long enough for me to suffer any burns. I definitely use it on the bike and long runs though. 

I will admit, unless it's very early in the year and/or I will be out for a long time (or I am, say, visting FL in March)... I typically don't use any. When I do, it's usually an 8 and a lotion.

My face lotion does have an spf in it, though (oil of olay).

I spray before traing rides and races with clothing on.  I use 30 because it is a Sport Spray, was on sale, and in a multi-pack.  I would use lotion but I worry about the day I don't have spray and no one to get my back.  I assume with a spray that I can get everywhere with a decent coat.  some people seem to use a whole can though for one application.

It is my understanding that anything over 30 is all marketing hype. 

I use California Baby Sunblock Stick on my face and the Target brand spray on my arms and shoulders. Legs go without.

The stick makes you look like an extra in a zombie movie, but I'm more vain about how I look without sunblock.

I use the Target brand spray on my arms/legs/back but a lotion on my face.  After much trial and error, I found that the Neutrogena Sport for faces sunblock does not make me break out.  

I hate that so many "for faces" brands make me break out.  People should not have to choose between acne and sunscreen.

I hate lotions that do not soak in.  The Eucerin Everyday protection leaves a slimey feeling film on the surface of my skin (and their faces causes breakouts).

I use Keihl's on my face.  Expensive, but I'm very breakout prone and this keeps my skin clear.

But I'll admit, I often go without on my body unless I'll be out there for a long time.  Even though I don't burn easily, I know this is bad.  The reason - I have yet to find a sunblock that doesn't make me feel claustriphobic.  I don't know how to describe it other than I get overheated like my skin can't breathe.

I like the smell of the pink kind.  Waterbabies I think?
