KinTx Posted April 29, 2004 #1 Share Posted April 29, 2004 When I apply lotion to my face for protection and then get in the water it burns my eyes terribly. Can anyone recommend a lotion I can buy that will not burn my eyes when I swim? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvinit Posted May 4, 2004 #2 Share Posted May 4, 2004 I put on Water Babies on my kids...it has never burned their eyes, the only thing is, it comes in SPF 30 or 45 nothing lower. HTH Tracy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanetMarie Posted May 4, 2004 #3 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Clinique makes a suntan lotion specifically for the face and for this purpose. OUR NEXT ONWARD JOURNEY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KinTx Posted May 4, 2004 Author #4 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Both of these are great suggestions. I normally use a high SPF of at least 45 on my face. Last year we were on the VOS and when I got in the solarium pool and started swimming around my eyes started burning and then my husband had to get out and get me a towel. It was kind of embarrassing. Im trying to not run into that problem on our cruise next week. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane110 Posted May 8, 2004 #5 Share Posted May 8, 2004 I'm not clear on what product you're looking for. In your header, you ask about suntan lotion but in the body of the message you mention that you're looking for sun protection. Which one is it? If you're looking for a suntan lotion, I can't recommend anything, since I don't use one. If you're looking for sunblock, then I recommend buying one made for children. They generally have the best protection from the sun and won't sting if it gets in your eyes. I always use kids stuff on my face because my eyes are very sensitive.

Dee Posted May 8, 2004 #6 Share Posted May 8, 2004 My favorite sun protection for my face is Banana Boat's Faces Plus. It is SPF 23 and never burns my eyes. Dee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missyal Posted May 8, 2004 #7 Share Posted May 8, 2004 There are several sunblocks that are " sport" formulas that are made for active people who sweat more or get wet. These won't burn your eyes or run down your forehead. I just want to find one that doesn't take the nailpolish off my nails! Missyal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane110 Posted May 8, 2004 #8 Share Posted May 8, 2004 Missyal, I've never had a sunblock that removes my nailpolish, however, I have had problems with it removing the color from the leather handles of my handbag. I had to have them dyed back to color by the manufacturer. What a pain that was! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
