Subject: RE: Sunscreen I have personally found that Banana Boat and Panama Jack sunscreens are not very effective. I remember reading a Consumer Reports article stating that they performed the worst in their tests.
I usually stick with the Coppertone 30 or 45 Waterproof. I still get some color, but not any burn. Also, you should apply it and allow it to dry for 10 minutes before jumping into the water.
For your face, I would get one of those sun block "sticks" specifically for faces. The lotions can run into your eyes, where the sport sticks are more like a gel and stay in place. Plus, they don't burn like the heavy duty lotions will sometimes. |
