Which sunscreens work best?

[ArkRescue]

"WASHINGTON -- With warmer weather and more time outside, many people may be grabbing the sunscreen, but a Consumer Reports study found that not all sunscreens live up their promises.

Consumer Reports tested 20 sunscreens and found just two products -- BullFrog WaterAmor Sport InstaCool SPF 50+ and Coppertone Sensitive Skin SPF 50 -- provided the SPF, or sun protection factor, promised on the label. "

Actually, the best sunscreens are inside an air-conditioned dwelling, on those hot humid days. Sorry Arkie, I had to.....

ok ..... but I can't do outside critter chores in the house ....... and I'm really pale - I burn and rarely ever tan, so sunscreen is important for me. If I could afford it I'd get spray tanned.

So, do you get the highest SPF you can find, by the case? I myself have had to start wearing a ball cap; "sunshine on the roof" and all that.....

Yup I try to get the strongest, but somehow I end up not applying frequently enough and I get sunburn at some point. I think I'll buy some of that Bullfrog they mentioned. I also need to use some on my horse, her nose burns.

im the queen of sunblock because of how easy I burn...I have to apply it before any outdoor activity. And now when I sweat with it on (ie when im running) its started burning like hellfire. Neutrogena dry mist doesnt burn but its so expensive for how much i use :/

Light weight, long sleeve shirts work well. Best to cover up as much flesh as possible.

I spend a lot of time on the water. These tubes are quite popular. They are adjustable so you can cover as little or as much as you want.

I have to admit that I am a big manly man and I use water babies when I use it. It is in a pretty pink bottle lol. It isn't greasy, smells alright, and seems to work well.

I hate the greasy feeling that most leaves not to mention the smell.

I like Water Babies also. I have not used Coppertone in a long while but I liked the way it smelled many years ago.
