  • I am very fair-skinned and burn much too easily, but I finally found something that worked for me. I use Copportone 15 and I reapply every hour. If I do this, I actually get a tan!

  • For every day incidental exposure (like walking to work, the subway, etc). I use Clinique Super Defense SPF 25 for combination oily to oily skin.

     If I know I am going to be exposed to the sun for a long time or in intense heat, I use either Shiseido spf 55 (comes in both a lotion and cream, I forget which one I like better) or Avene Emulsion spf 50.  I think I prefer Avene a little more as the Shiseido looks very white on me/doesn't rub in as well.

    For body, I love Neutrogena Ultimate Sport Spray Sunblock, SPF 70.

    I used both Avene and Neutrogena while I was in the middle east last august and got absolutely no color, so I have to say they definitely work!

  • I think my face moisturizer is 15 or 20 and then if I remember body sunscreen, we have 30. now if its a beach/outdoor day i might get a higher or put more on frequently.

  • My makeup is essentially an SPF 20, which I wear daily.  I put on my ears and scalp too if I know I will be outside for any extended amount of time.  On my body, I usually use Coppertone Sport SPF 30 when I am going to the beach or an outdoor event.
  • Because I can't be bothered to carry more than one kind, I will start out with none, then put on DD's Baby 50 (Coppertone kids) after about 45 minutes or so.  (and sit under an umbrella with a hat on)

    But if I am going to the beach, I will get a burn unless I do.
