Consumer Reports recommended "Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch" sunscreen as
the best of the bunch they reviewed (reviewed SPF 45 / purchased SPF 55).

I'm NOT a sun BUM!!! like I used to be and take great care to NOT tan.

It has a mild scent and dries right away without an oil "shine".

Nice to know, but how does its price compare to other similar products?

Sky, who doesn't like sunburn/tan either!

Sky,

Consumer Reports: Cost (per fl. oz.) $4.33

My tube (3 oz.) $8.24 + tax

Andy

Me too- I grew up in No. CA, and spent many hours in the sun. When I
was a teenager, we moved to WA state, and things totally changed. If I
spend too much time in the sun now, I break out in hives. I guess it's
nature's warning sign that it's just not good for you.

I'm sooooo glad I never hopped on the "gotta get a tan" bandwagon. Even if
I weren't a fair-skinned woman of Scottish descent it's just so bad for your
skin. I credit my lack of wrinkles to having had some sense about not
sunbathing or doing the tanning bed thing. When I have to be outside at the
art shows with John I slather myself with the sunscreen they make for
babies - the highest SPF I can find. Sorry, Andy, not gonna spend $$ for
Neutrogena (although I do love their mild facial soap).

Here's something both funny and stupid - I remember a trend around 1980
where people who lived at my friend Eileen's apartment complex were mixing
cherry Kool-Aid with baby old and slathering it on themselves. Allegedly it
helped promote faster tanning. More like, gee, you look like a red-dyed
sunburned idiot I'd hate to see what those people look like today.

Girl, you should have lived in my era. At school in Virginia in the mid-40's
we anointed ourselves with baby oil and iodine, and then crawled out a dorm
window onto a "tar beach" and fried. And despite all the fantastic tans I
achieved (but never once a real burn) I've escaped any skin problems so far.
And that's pretty far!

No sun screen creams are effective more than like 45 minutes... unless
you are like really abnormal and don't perspire.

Best sunscreen is to cover up; wear protective clothing and a wide
brimmed hat.

Jill, I remember before the 70s,--- I worked at the local swimming
pool in the summer time. We thought it was pretty cool to mix babyoil
and Iodine, and anoint our all ready tan bods with this concoction..

Well, almost. Sunscreen takes 30-40 minutes to be effective before you get
out in the sun.

The amount of time spent in the sun before re-applying depends on sweat or
ocean/pool time. But for sure, one application is not near enough! Every
hour or so is a safe bet.

Yep. I wear long-sleeve "ex-officio" shirts. SPF 30.

Is there really a good reason to introduce all this flotsam and jetsam
to a COOKING newsgroup?
This isn't "thread drift"... it is introduction of totally off topic,
often lame messages. Your daily dull breakfast report is at least food
related.
Don't you realize how this kind of crap has run off way too many good
posters here?

Sky, who doesn't like sunburn/tan either!

The "Best Buy" was the No-Ad pint size (16 oz). They also recommend
using
2-3 ounces (iirc) per application.

OB Food: The pesto is all gone. I'll have to make some more to try
some of the
other suggestions I was given. We used it on pasta, as a spread on
bread, and
thinned it with vinegar and water on salad. (It has enough oil,
ehg?)

How come no one ever slathered themselves with pesto--all that olive
oil has
got to be good for your skin....

LOL I get a catalog (DHC) in the mail monthly. Each catalog contains
samples. They sell olive oil soap, olive oil facial cleanser, olive leaf
milk (whatever that is), etc. I've got so many samples of their stuff
there's no need for me to ever have to buy their products!
