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.

My dermatologist is adamant about sunblock, makes me put it on for a 10 minute walk from her office back to the main hospital where I work. Living in Florida for more than 30 years, and loving the sun, has contributed to my severely sundamaged skin. I have to have painful acid peels on my arms to keep it under control, Efudex doesn't work anymore. A sunblock with titanium or zinc is what you should be looking for. Bullfrog makes one, it leaves a white residue on your skin but that is preferable to cancerous and pre-cancerous lesions. Also, lipstick is important. It is easy for a woman to find a product with an SPF, for men, Burt's Bees makes one called Lifeguard's Choice.
