Just a genuine recommendation for something that really actually finally works.
It isn't perfect, no, it is harder to wash off, some people don't like the way it feels, but does it work? Yes. It is the only stuff that I've found to work.
I've been using it exclusively I think since 2009 maybe? Now it seems the formulations are Paraben free even. IT HAS GOTTEN BETTER.
Recently I've said a few things about it so I'll just cut and paste.
you can always check what i've said before http://www.gewilli.com/search?q=%22blue+lizard%22 still stand by it all. Shit I should send in a sponsor resume and ask them for a new Gallon of the Sensitive.
What kind of sunscreen are people using?
only thing i use now is Blue Lizard Sensitive. none of those fucking hormones that get used up.
I'm pretty fair skinned and it got to the point where I just said f'it and bought a gallon of it (found it on sale on line for $140 iirc but that was a couple years ago)
I can cover up with it and spend all day in the sun, at the beach, swimming or anything and feel like i stayed inside at least from the skin sensations.
Stuff doesn't wash off. You don't need to keep re-applying it.
Downside, it isn't the cleanest chemical concoction but it isn't really any different than most lotions or shampoo. It also takes a bit to wash off (good for sports activities).
I've tried most all of the other Zinc oxide ones and they don't work very well for me. And I just flat out refuse to use the chemical absorbing type, those are some nasty ass compounds, and based on how my skin feels I think they do more to just prevent you from reacting and getting a sun burn than actually preventing damage from the sun. The Blue Lizard stuff actually seem pretty solid.
Never would have tried it if I didn't get a free sample. Put it on one day before spending the whole hot june day walking around with the girls at a park in the sun all day. Got home and for the first time ever wasn't sunburnt, and two didn't feel like a french fry that had been left under the heat lamp all day.
Put it this way. Summer camp for the kids. YMCA camp with pool. In and out of the pool 2-3 times a day. She's as pale as me. Cover her in Blue Lizard in the morning before we leave. She doesn't re-apply all day. Camp counselors are baffled that she didn't want to put more on.
She's the only one the next day w/o sunburn.
Tan lines slowly developed over the summer. But i mean SLOWLY.
The oldest went through the routine of burning where she didn't put more on (back usually, sometimes legs) before I discovered the Blue Lizard. It works for all day bike rides too. Put it on once. Sweat city but no sun burn.
