    Spring will soon be here (in the US anyway) and I’ll be spending more time outside. I don’t have much experience with the spray on sunblock. Any thoughts?

    try to stay away from oxybenzone. try to find sun screen with titanium or zinc oxide. dont fall into the high spf hype. spf30-50 is all you need. and remember its about applying generously and frequently.

    yep…Higher spf doesn’t provide anymore protection other than being able to go a little bit longer in between applications.

    So how frequently is “frequently”? If it’s a very hot and sunny day (which we don’t get too many of here 😉 ) and I’m swimming and chillin’ in the sun, how often would y’all recommend applying?

    when I’m swimming I re-apply about every 1- 1.5 hours.

    Thanks much!
    Not a lot of swimming in daytime except on vacation in October (Florida). Mostly daily walking and yard work.
    My favorite hang outs are rather cool and dark.

    I used SPF 50 last year in “pre tattoo” days.

    every 50 minutes or so if youre in the water a lot. otherwise every 2 hours is ok.

    I tried and tested many because I wanted one that didnt leave my tattoos with a white smear over it. Finally found one and its awesome, totally clear.
