I need some advice from you OW veterans of which is the best waterproof sunblocks.
There are so many on the market that I don't want to buy them and try them all and find out the hard way that they don't work.
I currently use a brand called aloe gator waterproof 40+ gel which is suppose to last 8 hours.
But I read somewhere sunblocks are suppose to contain something called Parsel or Titanium or something like that, and this aloe gator doesn't contain either.
I'm not an open water swimmer, but I surf and windsurf for hours on end in the hot sun and have tried a ton of supposedly waterproof sunblocks. I like Banana Boat SPF 30 (orange tube) because it doesn't run in my eyes and make them light sensitive like some others, and it seems to last about forever. It's a disappearing white cream as opposed to the amber Gator gel styles. It's also relatively inexpensive and widely available (read: At Walmart).
Good luck.
