I dont wear sunscreen but I also don’t go outside to get burnt by the sun. When I goto the beach, I have a beach umbrella. I grill later in the afternoon. The sun is hella uncomfortable to be outside of hours.

Which sunscreen do you guys use?

Which sunscreen do you guys use?

Neutrogena ultra sheer dry touch - have the lotion and spray. It’s the only sunscreen that doesn’t leave me feeling hella oily and if at the beach, the spray feels light enough to use on my face without clogging my pores. It’s also waterproof which of course is good for beach/pool days or if you’re exercising outside and sweat, it’s my go-to for hiking.

But 30-55 SPF is pretty much the protection you want, anything rated over 55 is all marketing fluff and you’re paying a premium for minimal improvement. At 50, you’re blocking 98% of UV rays. Also be sure is broad spectrum, not just UVA.

All of this, the Neutrogena stuff is legit. I have to reapply regularly but the lotion sticks quite a bit and I don’t feel that nasty greasy feeling with it.
