5 Long-Lasting Sunscreens

I wanted a sunscreen for my grandchildren and I bought Coppertone because it is a good reputable brand and I liked that it had an SPF of 50 as well as it being recommended for children. I live in Texas and we have a 6 ft long, 4 ft wide blow-up pool in the backyard and the children love to come over and slide down the playscape into the pool. That means they are often wet and out of the pool in the direct sun. The water on their skin keeps it reflective which make a high risk for excess sun exposure and sunburn. They've never had a problem with this due to the use of this sunscreen. They often stay out for an hour and sometimes a little more, yet they've never gotten sunburned, or even red. So happy with Coppertone! I would highly recommend this product! ...read more

I worked at a water park for 4 years, which means constant sun. I love this stick. I've never seen sunscreen come in packaging like this. Or come in this consistancy. The smell is so wonderful it doesn't smell like it's a sunscreen. You smell fresh out of the shower and it has such a summer vibe. This protected me from the sun a lot. It worked especially on my nose, shoulders and a new tattoo. Usually sunscreen comes right off my nose and that's where I burn immediately. But this one stayed on for several hours at my job with no reapplying. This fits anywhere in any bag and it's shaped like a deodorant. It's not greasy either. ...read more

I love going to the beach and swimming in the ocean...but as a fair girl, the sun is my enemy. I love the Neutrogena Ultimate Sport Face because it stays on through it all. You can also get it just about anywhere, but from what I have found, it only comes in SPF 70 and not everyone wants or needs that. So, in all, I think that this is a great face sunscreen that is long-lasting, works awesome, and isn't too heavy. ...read more

I always come back to this. There is always a bottle of this sunscreen on my dresser, no matter the season. I tend to use the higher SPFs because I burn very easily and this sunscreen does the job quite nicely. This was honestly the first sunscreen I used that didn't result in me going home with face or shoulder sunburns. The scent is a definite plus for me, no other sunscreen I've tried smells quite as nice as this. Every time we are out at a beach or anywhere with prolonged sun exposure, my friends and family always ask to use this sunscreen. It has really become a staple in my life. ...read more

This is my favorite sunscreen! It generally takes about 10 minutes to soak in properly, but it dries very smoothly and doesn't leave you oily. I use this both while I'm playing sports and swimming/sunbathing and it doesn't sweat off and is very waterproof. I love using this on my face and shoulders (those being the areas more prone to burn) because it prevents me from burning but gives me a nice sun-kissed tan. I would recommend this to anyone with sensitive skin looking for a durable sunscreen. ...read more
