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 have a friend who's skin was severely damaged from the sun, mainly because she didn't follow siimple precautions, such as covering up, staying out of the mid-day sun, and not applying sunscreen on a regular basis. Feel free to damage your own skin, but I think I'll pass. http://familydoctor.org/online/famdo.../risk/159.html http://www.burnsurvivorsttw.org/articles/sundamage.html http://www.cnn.com/HEALTH/library/HQ/01462.html http://www.aocd.org/skin/prevsun.html http://telemedicine.org/sundam/sundam2.4.1.html You always take everything to the extreme, Jon...no one said go stand out in the midday sun frying yourself into human bacon. There are safe times to be out. You ahve to watch the UV ratings for the day and apply whatever you use in accordance with the conditions. Try not being such an extremist...your shrieking hurts peoples ears. |
