Summer hasn't even started yet and I already got my first sunburn. The funny thing was, I wasn't even out in the sun that long! It just goes to show how important it is to keep your skin protected. The sun's rays are so strong that you can even get a sunburn on a cloudy day. Be on the safe side and slather on some sunblock to keep your skin protected.
Sunblock products are important to skin health because they absorb ultraviolet radiation, a known carcinogen, from the sun. Therefore, along with sunblock clothing and other sun safety strategies, sunblocks are one of the most important parts of protecting your skin. In celebration of National Sun Safety Week, check out our list of the top searched sunscreens!
When choosing a sunscreen, one of the most important things to consider is the Sun Protection Factor, or SPF. Any sunblock above SPF 15 usually provides sufficient protection. If you do want to bronze your skin, some suntan lotions, like Australian gold, have a lower SPF that allows you to tan while still blocking some UV rays.
Consider how much sun protection you need by looking at your day-to-day life. If you are on the go a lot, try adding SPF protection to your skin care regime. Many skin care products, such as face and body lotion, include SPF protection. If you are at the beach or playing sports, look for a waterproof sunscreen that won't melt off when you sweat or wash off in the water. Number 2 on our list, Blue Lizard, claims that it will stay on for for 240 minutes in whirlpool water.

I am a kayak fisherman living in central Florida. When I fish from my kayak, I am out in direct sun light for 4 - 6 hours at a time. There is only sunscreen for me, DriGrip. I never get burned. You can order DriGrip at www.drigrip.com. DriGrip is the only truly dry sunscreen. When you apply DriGrip it completely disappears and leaves zero residue on your skin. This broad spectrum SPF 30 sunscreen will not burn your eyes. This sunscreen is great for any one who plays outdoor sports as sand and dirt will not stick to your skin after you apply DriGrip. This sunscreen can be applied under makeup. This sun screen is great for anglers. DriGrip does not kill your live bait or repel fish. DriGrip is the only sunscreen I will use. If you happen to own a pool, DriGrip will not leave an oily scum ring around your tile edge.

ARBONNE is the best. It is pure, safe and beneficial. There is a suncreen for babies and children too. I love the self tanner and it has SPF 15 in it. Joyce joyceowens.myarbonne.com

If your the kind of person that doesnt want to get a tan during the summer and be completely covered, use SPONIX sunscreen. it is seriously an amazing product. I went to the Bahamas and you know how hot it is there. I came back with my skin being the same color as when i first got there. SPONIX sunscreen is amazing, you guys should try it. and it has SPF 38. SPONIX SUNSCREEN REALLY WORKS!!!(it also has zinc oxide and titanium dioxide.
