Sunscreen Recommendation Thread

[heidi]

In about two weeks people will be packing for and heading to Orlando for Infinitus - and others will be visiting the Wizarding World on their own schedule in the next year.

So I think it's important to quote a very influential song of the late 90s.

If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it.

The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience.

What's your sunscreen recommendation? Do you have different preferences for face vs body?

And what's up with the UVA ratings from Europe and why is it better, and can anyone bring me some for my face for Infinitus? I'll totally pay you back.

For the last year or so, I've been wearing Aveeno's 45SPF on my face and chest and Neutrogena's 50 on my arms - I admit that I rarely wear anything on my legs (yeah, I know, bad.).

But I tan easily, rarely burn and am trying to stop freckling.

I find it funny that spf 30 is still the standard here in Australia. I mean, I'm sure the recommendations are higher, but as to what's actually available... I mean my usual is only spf 15 (because it's the only oil free one I can find). Lack of decent sized population = lack of consumer choices, as usual.
