Sunscreen

Hey guys,

I have a summer job that requires me to be out in the sun a lot so I have to wear sunscreen all the time. Which sunscreen do you guys use that you think is a good one? The SPF, price etc? Also, I want one that isn't oily or won't dry out my skin.

Thanks in advance!

My skin is really sensitive, and the only one I'm not allergic too is L'Oreal Ombrelle. It's great, and I really think you should use it. The SPF ranges from 15 to 45. I recommend the spray one, it's about $18-25. But if it's too pricey, try Banana Boat, I heard it's really good too.

I use Ombrelle too and just so you know it works REALLY well. Like, insanely well. If I wear it I don't even tan. Which sucks, but in the long run is good for your skin. I think I have the SPF 30 or 45. My mom went on cityline and came home with a bunch of different types of sunscreen. Apparently spf 60 and 30 isn't that big of a difference even though the numbers seem like the 60 would offer double the protection. Yeah. So Ombrelle is good Very Happy

I use Ombrelle too i think it works really well i have the SPF 15 although you may need 30 or even 60 because you are out in the sun all day. IM not sure the prices though. I also use Banana Boat Suntannicals, in SPF 30 i dont use it on my face but i like how it smells nice and its not too greasy.

Aww, i cant use umbrelle i hve allergies to it.
I use banana boat, its proably not as good as umbrelle by the sounds of it. It works decently though. It leaves a slight tan if you use SPF 25+. I dont recall the price though

Unbrelle is one of the few sunscreens i'm not allergic to.
I like it. It offers a really good protect.. and lke someone else said it really blocks out a tan

For you face if you don't want something greasy i suggest trying on of the Neutogena ones. They're really like but offer a lot of UV protection.

I work outside for nine hours a day so I know what you mean!
I use Neutrogena Ultrasheer drytouch SPF 45 - I usually only apply it once a day in the morning and I NEVER burn (or tan -- well I tan a little bit) with it on. It works awesome. And it doesnt feel greasy at all and doesnt make your face shiny.

Plus it doesnt have that strong sunscreen smell

And this might be common sense to you but make sure you put sunscreen EVERYWHERE! On my first day I stupidly didnt put it on my ears or neck and got burned realllly bad on those places. I learned my lesson
