We all scream for sunscreen...


What do you use? Maybe you should think about upgrading...


Consumer Reports rated Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch SPF 45 as the best
and the best buy as No-Ad Sunblock Lotion Maximum SPF 45. Both are highly
rated for UVA and UVB.


If you have any types of allergies, watch the No_Ad one...gave me little
blisters and bumps...I only use 15 when I use any at all....the ebst
protection agaisnt "bad rays" is to go unexposed fr the first 15
minutes...the bkody has its' own defense mechanism that triggers the
pigment in the skin to protect but only after 15 minutes...you also need
that amount of time to absorb Vitamin d...then after 15 minutes put on
the block or screen or whatever...I am most fortunate that I have olive
skin so don't burn very easily....


I used that No Ad crap on my face and neck before a job interview. I
sat there looking like a toad with blisters and bumps on my face and
neck. I didn't get the job.

Ocean Potion puts orange sweat marks and ring around the collar on my
clothes. Bleach won't take the stains out but soaking overnight in
Oxyclean does.

I tried Bull Frog, but if you don't put it on fast enough, it dries
really fast and you look like you have pieces of dried snot on your
face.

Now i use that spray on Bull Frog. I luv the stuff. It doubles as
aftershave because it has alcohol in it and stings your face. They
even have a version with Deet in it.
