Headhunter is great stuff. not the best on your skin but works great at repelling el cancer himself. Doesn't sweat or run into your eyes. And its good for a few hours.

nothing beats johnson and johnson baby oil for getting a deep rich tan.....keeps your skin smoth and soft also........i love it for when i head out to blacks beach for a tan line free golden bod.....
now for keeping the burn away, i just bought some spray from big lots for $4 usually $10 banana boat sport..spf 85. you obviously dont get as much as if you get the bottle of goo but it is not greassy and the application is very easy which i like out on the water. no matter what spf you get you still need to reapply every few hours. |

+1 for headhunter, or sunblock designed for women is usually less oily (Prevents acne)

I personally like the Blue Lizard stuff that you see on the Bill Dance show. It works. If you cannot find that Aloe Gator has been one that I use and have used through my surfing days and into now(25 years). It stays on for up to 8 hours. I did not use it this weekend and used some spray on Banana boat SPF 50 baby sunscreen. I got fried. Brand new bottle, and still I get fried. Make sure you are using stuff that is good. I use to like Bullfrog until they went big and started skimping on the quality of the product.

Having had the distinct pleasure of undergoing skin cancer surgery on my nose, best stuff to block contains a "mechanical block" in it. Thare are two which I know of...Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide...

Beeing on the water with the added refliction i got hit dame good.. part of it was my fault. I took a bandana to use under my hat to cover my neck and ears but forgot to put it on... live and learn i say..

As with any "medicine" it is best to check with your doctor before using any such products. You may have an interaction with any of the above stated products.Like it says on tv, always check with a doctor before use. Good luck with your choice I know its a hard decision sometimes.

Well im on a mission to learn more about sun block lotion.. Here is an intresting artical that explains about some lotions...
http://www.consumersearch.com/sunscreen/best-sunscreen Its not the best and its more broad about what it goes into.. but it got lots of the basics on what makes a sun block good. I found a few more but they are boring read.. With lots of info. I want to learn as much as i can about what to look for and then hope to make the best choice for me atlist. Some of the lotions you guys mentioned did get good marks on this site.. I would let let you guys know what i find... After i get as much info as i can about it i would go to the stores and start reading the ingredients and % of each in the lotion.. Wade I actual did think of that as well. Found a pic of a guy that works in the desert and he swears by the scarf... Its part of his every day gear.. Sasha |

Agree with this. The full name we use is Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock SPF 70 with Helioplex(Broad Spectrum UVA/UVB). Julie uses it everywhere she needs it, I only use it on my face, as I go for the cheaper Coppertone Water Babies SPF 50 everywhere else. No oiliness about the Neutrogena with a slight pleasant smell about it.
The Coppertone brand version isn't that bad when it comes smell/oiliness, but I'd much rather have the Neutrogena for the face.

I have red headed daughters so sun screen is big deal in our family. I use their sun screen cause it's in my car but I have had good success with their No Add kids 50spf. I like the kids stuff becasue it's generally kind on the skin and eyes. I also wear long sleaves and pants, hat, sun glasses, and often in the summer a ninja type face and neck cover. Clothes can be hotter but they work and you don't have to remember to reaply. Mike
