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 think geochuck's advice is really important: the BEST protection from sunburn is a suntan acquired by slow and progressive exposure to the sun, as he describes it, in the morning and late afternoon when the sun is not it's strongest.
That doesn't mean we don't need sunscreen - we do! Just that if you have a base tan, this will protect you somewhat from damaging sun rays.
As for the best sunscreen - I'm no expert. I usually just buy the cheapest so that I can apply it (and reapply it) liberally.
Ciao! :cool:
