I am looking for a sunscreen that can last through the whole swim around Key West.
I heard that zinc oxide lasts a long time, so I tried Solar Sense clear zinc SPF 45 for a 10K this weekend, but my back still got very badly burned :doh:
Is clear zinc less effective than colored zinc? Are there any other sunscreens that can last for a really long time?
Thanks!

I'm doing Key West this year too, and am worried about the sunscreen situation. Did a some races at Ft Myer a couple of weeks ago and got absolutely fried even with several layers of various sunscreen.
And I'm not particularly fair-skinned.
I think I'm gonna do bullfrog with a layer of zinc on top and hope for the best!!
Better not forget the bottom lip, too!
