[prettybabi11492]

My daughter burns really bad in the face areas and I usually use the baby sunscreen I sell but it has not arrived so I went to walmart and went to the travel size product section and got a tube of Fruit of the Earth Block up! SPF45 plus UVA/UVB protection with aloe vera that is water/sweat resistant for $1.

Thanks for the heads-up! How many ounces does it contain?

 

[ArbonQueen]

It is actually only a 1oz tube. You may want to grab a few /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> if your heading out to camp.

I love the Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch sunscreen with SPF 55. It's light and feels very smooth on my skin.

I'll second that Neutrogena. If you have oily skin, it really doesn't aggravate it.

Definitely make sure you get one of the following as an active ingredient: Parsol 1789 (also known as avobenzone), zinc oxide, or titanium dioxide.

Otherwise you're preventing burns but not long-term damage.

Be sure to keep re-applying it! Like every couple of hours if you're outside.

There was a drugstore brand that I used to use that had an oil-free sunscreen. I think it might have been Coppertone? Just make sure you pick up something that is oil-free!! Regular body sunscreen can clog your pores.

Thanks /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Hmm, I think I might get one that holds a few as is /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

High protection and good qualities.. thanks /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I'll look into this one.

 

[prettybabi11492]

for higher spf I would recommend Neutrogena, for lower Cetaphil. also aveeno released new sunscreens, they seem interesting.. but I didnt try them out yet.

 

[KrazyPhish]

Nuetrogena Healthy defense daily moisturizer SPF 30.

It contains Zinc oxide 1.9%

It's broad spectrum, UVA/UVB protection

Oh and I don't burn through it, which is impressive -I have very pale skin and live in Australia and New Zealand (Aus for uni, NZ for holidays) the 2 most harshest UV environments in the world.

I love Olay complete defense sensitive skin spf 30. It has zinc oxide in it.
