Neutrogena was recommended to my years ago by my dermatologist. It is good stuff.

I've also started using the spray version of Bull Frog - but not on my face. :shock:

Bullfrog Gel. Alchol based. Goes on easy, not greasy. Stays on great.

I've been using it for years and haven't found anything better to my liking.

I always used Bullfrog but my dermatologist switched me to Nuetrogena 45 SPF. Look for the type with helioplex in it. After a lifetime in the sun fishing, working and surfing, I now have regular trips to the doctor to cut, burn or freeze off "stuff." Wish I had used sunscreen in the earlier years.

Oh yeah, Hat, sleeves and long pants when it is really bright. I used to think the commercial fishermen and shrimpers were nuts when I was young because they covered up in the heat. They were smarter than I thought.

Neutrogena on the face and coppertone sport elsewhere plus long sleve shirts all the time..

P.S. Rooster dude get some screen, I work in the sun and play in the sun, I was of that mentality (ANARCHY!!!!!!!!!) then I turned 29 and the Dermatologist started cutting on my face and back and he has not stopped yet (8 years later). I kick myself.

I now wear sunscreen after I found a sun spot on my ear. I plan on wearing those long sleeve columbia shirts now when I am outside for long periods of time. Now if I can convince my company to make some of those with the company logo on them 8)

I own and operate a swimming pool maintenance company so I'm out in the sun all day. The best sunscreen I've found is Neutrogena UltraSheer Dry-Touch SPF 45. Be sure to apply at least 1/2 hour before going out into the sun so the skin has time to absorb. It will last most of the day if you do this. Also, in addition to the sunscreen, I highly recommend a Tilley (www.tilley.com) hat. I purchased mine at Dogfish Tackle on park blvd in Pinellas Park, FL. They are very durable and have a lifetime warranty.

I use the Coppertone Sport SPF50. and Neutragena SPF 45

My Dr told me that any suncreen spf 15 or greater was good. She also said if it is spf 15 it should be reapplied avery 15 minutes ... Spf 45 every 45 minutes . Sweating, swimming, washing in salt water will remove it. Also long sleeve shirts, and pants in the new micro fibre and a wide brimmed hat. The best hat is the Tilley ($65 approx) it is lifetime guarantee even if you lose it. If you find mine in the bay my name is in it and phone number.. please call me so I can have it back.


Thanks
