Question of the Day - Tuesday, July 28

Greetings!


What brand of sunscreen are you currently using?



Coppertone, spf 60, waterproof, moisterizing, lotion, oil free, for me. So far I am liking it, feels and smells nice, and obviously works. I used to use the spray version stuff, and was fairly convenient, but never felt the amount lasted as long and if there was some left it "dies" by next summer. So pretty happy with the usual lotion rub-on version!

None.

I never go out in the sun for any length of time. Maybe 5-10 minutes at a time lol.  

I hate summer.  

I am a shade-lurker. I've always avoided the sun. It's nice to look at but I wouldn't want to be in it. I can't wear sunscreen at all - might as well seal my pores with paint.

I'm using the Banana Boat one my DH uses for work.  He used to be strictly Coppertone (even had that as a nickname; he's a redhead) but he likes the Banana Boat better now.  it's SPF 50 I believe.  

Our DD cannot handle sunscreen on her face.  It leaves her red, dry and then peeling.  It's awful.  So we've avoided a lot of sun time lately.  She wears a sun hat and if I need to put it on her face I try to wash it off as soon as possible.  The brand she reacts to least is the Water Babies Pure and Simple.  (pure and natural? maybe? lol)  

I use Water Babies too. I think it's SPF 30. I read that anything above 30 is a waste. I don't spend much time out in the sun though. 

i don't use sunscreen. i'm outdoors working on things quite a lot during the summer months, and i wear shorts and a t-shirt as well as a 'bucket' style hat. i get tanned on my arms, legs, face, and back of my neck -- and that's pretty much everywhere on me that gets any sun. i also get lots of freckles on my arms from the sun.

Hawaiian tropic sunscreen 50 spf. We go through a lot of sunscreen because we go outside a lot. I have a 2 year old and a 9 month old so I'm on the go a lot.

The moisturiser I use has a sunscreen in it and then I put Skin Aqua SPF 35 over that. I'm very very pale, I have no resistance to sun burn at all. I also carry a parasol around with me on very sunny days. Does anyone else do that? It's quite common in Japan.

I have trouble with sunscreen. I sweat so much and it runs in my eyes and it's just nasty stuff for me. It also seems to attract the bugs. I'm always petrified that I'll get stung by a bee, although I do keep my Epi-Pen close by, just in case, it still scares me. I know I should wear something and I do try. We use Banana Boat Sport, but I don't know what the number is...it's pretty high, though.

I rarely wear it. I do have some in the house, but not sure what brand.

If I am going to be outside for an extended amount of time doing yard work and I have my hair bulled back, I will put some on the back of my neck. When I go for my walks it's usually earlier in the day.

I never wear it. Even when I go out into the midday sun I don't use it. In fact I don't believe i ever use it unless I'm lying right in the rays of the sun.
