My favorite and a dermatologist recommended it to my hubby since he's in the sun a lot. I was outside all summer and never got burned once. And it's nice because it doesn't have that gross sunblock feeling when you wear it.
I love any sunblock made by Kiehl's. Not as hassle-free as the aerosol can things, but it works so well. I think it stays on the best as well.
(This is coming from me, who is the palest person on the planet. I'm so pale, I'm like a clear/blue color. Seriously. This stuff keeps me from burning).
@Lillindy: That is my favorite too! I work outside all summer, so I constantly have to be putting sunscreen on (I also tend to be pale as a ghost). I like it because it doesn't have that greasy feeling that most sunscreens leave behind
I use the same Neutrogena sunblock that Lillindy recommended and really like it. I think it works better than a lot of other spray versions. I don't find it to be greasy and sticky like a lot of other sunscreens are.
Well, not a brand ... but I started with spf 45 for the first 2 days because the sun was so hot and even though normally I dont burn ... in that sun I would! So I made the mistake and bought sunblock at the resort ... hello $14 bottle. =( Than I switched to spf 30 spray ... and eventually spf 4 oil =) The spray bottle did not last very long ... we used up 2 of them.
I just started using the new Coppertone Nutrashield sunblock this summer and I love it! I tried the Neutrogena spray for awhile but I didn't like how it kind of stuck to my arm hairs. So I decided to go back to a lotion and try out the new stuff and it's not very greasy. It feels more like normal lotion once it sinks in, plus it has spf up to 70. I'm pale pale (yay for all us pale people!) so I definitely appreciate high spf that I don't completely hate putting on.
Believe it or not, I have 3 sunblocks for different activities /what I feel like.
The everyday wear on my face is EltaMD. What I like is that is stays on, it doesn't streak and it's physical sunscreen (sunblock). I'm not too happy w/ the chemical sunscreen.
The one I wear on my body during the summer when there's plenty of exposure is coopertone kids oil-free hypoallergenic. It's chemical sunscreen but it's cheaper than the EltaMD sunscreen. Hence, I use it on my body but avoid my face when possible.
The one I wear when I go high altitude (snow sports and climbing) is california baby. It streaks and it's not aesthetically pleasing but it's only one that has worked for me at high altitudes.
Everyday I wear Clinque City Block (hi, Texas sun). When at the pool or beach, I wear the Nutrogena SPF 70. Love both of them!
Neutrogena got the best ratings in Consumer Reports or some other research article I saw. I forgot what level. That spray thing looks pretty cool.
I love Neutorgena cooling sunblock as well. We go to the beach all the time when we visit California and I have never been burned (I have fair skin).
I use Aveno. They have one for faces that is great. The ones for the body can be a little thick, but the spf is high (like 70!) and it's oil free/hypoallergenic.
For my tattoo I use Waterbabies SPF 70 face stick. I like the stick because it makes it easy to put it just where I want it. Plus it is oil free/hypoallergenic so I know it won't irritate the skin.
For my face I use Peter Thomas Roth Oil-Free Sunblock and for my body the Coppertone Waterbabies 45. We bought the spray last time and it's easy but you have to put it on outside and make sure anyone else is not downwind!
I have not tried the walgreens but the generic walmart kind compared to coppertone spray is HORRIBLE you can smell the alcohol in it (my daughter has excema and complained it burned when sprayed on) and it feels super greasy.
Well i am a pastey little fair skinned redhead so i am a sunblock addict. I have tried several and they either were not pleasant in smell felt sticky or heavy.
I took Aveeno Active Continous Protection Spray in SPF 70 with me to the beach this year and did not even get a hint of red. It feels very light when it is dry and even has a slighty citrus fragrance.
I do highly reccomend it but it is a little pricey and smaller bottle in comparison to some other brands.

This is really random but I hate slathering on sunblock, so I was pretty excited about the new spray kinds coming out but haven't been fully impressed with any. My friend recommended Walgreens brand continuous spray so I bought a can and brought it down for our last vacation.... I love it! It's better than the brand names, in my opinion (but maybe I'm biased cause it's cheaper so I like it more haha).
What is your favorite sunblock or suntan lotion/spray? I use sunblock frequently but have never really officially settled on a brand.
