I like Banana Boat 15. I prefer the spays rather than the creams. :)

i like coppertone, but i think its mainly
because the smell brings back memories of
when i was a kid! i'm very pale and my mom
used to lather me in the stuff.

i have to get the highest SPF possible, which
i've found to be 65. has anyone else seen
higher at regular stores?

spf 30 is the best sunblock.

I have heard that spf 30 is the best and anything over 30 doesn't give you anymore protection. Last year at the beach I took spray sunscreen and it was very easy to apply to my kids and self. The only problem I noticed is the spray sunscreen runs out fast.

You're going to want something that is extremely water resistant & sweat resistant. Anything below SPF 30 isn't really worth using, unless you're using it while tanning (and not doing anything else because you'll have to reapply often and pay close attention to your time spent outdoors so you don't burn). You might try the ones that are keyed toward athletes. I haven't had the need for sunblock in many years, so I can't really recommend a brand. Sorry.

I use spf 30 regardless of where I am outside beach, pool yard etc.
All though I hate applying it I haven't burned since a was a child and didn't wear sunscreen. :wave:
