Sunscreen

My Mr. Ed · 06-06-2005, 10:44 AM

Well, I'm not only looking for a good sunscreen for myself, but also for this baby growing in my tummy.

(I guess I won't need it this year, baby is due Dec, but, I want to be prepared)

So, I'm pretty active, outside, and I burn one time, then tan.....Well, anyway, do you have any favorite brands? I haven't found any that didn't make me feel greasy. And, what brands do you mom's use for your children?

I'm not a good one to talk about sun screen, LOL, but my mom makes my brother and sister use the Coppertone brand. I think it's Coppertone Sport in a blue bottle. I guess it works well because neither of them EVER burn.

Banana Boat 50 SPF sunblock.

See, I usually don't...but it's becoming more and more a concern...here the stories about skin cancer.....they aren't very good ones either. So, I guess I'd rather be "safe" than sorry.

In the US, somebody dies of melanoma (skin cancer) EVERY HOUR. Wear sunblock.

for the face, I like the one that looks like a giant tube a chapstick-easier to apply- & specifically designed not to sting when children sweat- for the legs arms etc- the liquid is fine, just need to remember to reapply...

My Mom always used to burn every year.
She had skin cancer last year.
Now she wears sunblock.

My Mr. Ed · 06-06-2005, 11:04 AM

So, what is the min. SPF you should use?

MissBandit · 06-06-2005, 11:08 AM

The highest you can get.
