After my cancer doctor did some slice-em and dice-em on my face and ear, and since I am very fair and burn easily, I've taken my doctor's advice and use Blue Lizard, an Australian sunscreen.
http://www.bluelizard.net/BlueLizard/home.html Great stuff, and though advertised as SPF 30+ doctor tells me that it's about SPF 100, but can't be advertised that way. Like the way it protects, but doesn't make your skin a greasy mess the forces you to sweat profusely.
Effective when chartering a yacht for a winter week in the Virgin Islands, but I did visit a tanning salon for a couple of visits before the trip to get a base coat of UV exposure.
Blue Lizard is hard to find, but their web-site has a retail locator. About $15 a bottle.
Thank you for the information on Blue Lizard. I am a red headed, green eyes, very fair skinned human. I went through severe sunburns and sun poisoning as a kid on our boat.
I just got on the crew of a sailing race team and am looking for a new high powered sunscreen.
