Sun bum?

[KARTI1955]

Any recommendations for Sun Bum sunscreen? I have seen it mentioned several times but have never used it. Looking for something new, prefer lotion - not spray on. Any suggestions for good coverage that is kind to skin?

 

TIA!

Never used Sun Bum. Looked it up here:

Based on their ingredients, I wouldn't use it.

 

I use Blue Lizard and have great success with it. I've used it for years before there was regulation on what sun screen manufacturers could claim. They used to be able to make the claims of waterPROOF and coverage for up to 4 HOURS. We have red heads in the family and we have never burned using Blue Lizard.

 

We also tend to have sensitive skin...never had a problem from using Blue Lizard.

Yikes! :eek: I didn't even think to check the ingredients. Pass on that one! Thanks for the heads up. I haven't seen Blue Lizard. Do you order it online?

I use SunBum stick for noses & tops of ears. I've never tried Blue Lizard, but will look at it

I've used Neutragena for years. I have very pale and sensitive skin, and I've never had a reaction to it, ever. I use SPF 100+. I know they say anything over SPF 30 is overkill, but I find that the backs of my hands and forearms don't get darkened spots with the SFP 100+. In humid weather I prefer the "dry" lotion. I get mine on Amazon, because it's cheaper than the local drugstores.

Best stuff ever. It has to have mexoryl in it. Usually cheaper if you order on Canadian website http://www.amazon.com/Ombrelle-Sunscreen-SPF60-MEXORYL-LARGE/dp/B00E5QCS6O/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1447332872&sr=8-10&keywords=Mexoryl
