Sunscreens
Since Summer and sun-exposure time is upon us...Just wondering what sunscreens you guys like. Personally, I love the "continuous spray" ones, but they have a lot of alcohol in them, and can be very drying. ANYWAY... what do YOU like and why....

Coppertone Sport (lotion in blue bottle, spf 30-50) works well and seems to stay on longest even with sweat and water. Otherwise, I like the way Banana Boat sport (cream, spf 15-50) goes on - very smooth and dries fast but maybe doesn't last as long as Coppertone. Working about as well as either of the above, and much cheaper though harder to find, is No-Ad sport lotion spf 30-45. I use these sunscreens a lot at work, where I am outdoors most of the day, and at play.
I haven't tried the spray sunscreens for many years but it seems they would be most convenient. My wife found some pop up sunscreen wipes (like baby wipes) that work well and are very convenient for use on the face especially.

Coppertone Sport 30 or 50; you can get the same product in some other house brand labels at a bit better price. Works well.

I also like the Coppertone Sport. I use the oilfree formula. I have very fair and sensitive skin, so I am careful what I use. The Coppertone protects me against sunburn and does not give me a rash.

Fur
Banana Boat has a couple of pump sprays spf 30-35, these both work quite well for me as I was blessed with much fur. Much easier than any creams.
The continuous sprays work well for the kids, but the alchohol & the propellant cause it to be very cold.

Well now, it sounds like Coppertone Sport is the clear winner so far! I was standing in front of a huge selection of sunscreens just last week. I ended up not getting one because i simply had no idea what to get! I guess i'll try this then! Thanks! :-)

I like most of the spray on oils in the pump bottles, either Coppertone or Banana Boat have good products. You can then go play tennis without having greasy hands...

Depends on what I'm doing and how warm it is. The Banana Boat is good, but I normally use the old reliable Coppertone lotion in the plastic bottle, #8. It has took good care of me for years, but if I go where it is really hot and plan to be in the sun for a long while I use something in the neighborhood of a #15.

I use NOAD SPF 45 or 50. It works for me and provides a broad spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays. I have also used the continuous sprays for my back, SPF 50, it too difficult to do my back by myself any other way and unless the wife is handy this is the best way for me to cover that area.
