Do you have a favorite sunscreen?
I got my first light sunburn of the year a few days ago when I went kayaking. 
So I was wondering if anyone had a favorite sunscreen? I'd prefer one that isn't real greasy, and doesn't have much of a smell.

Neutrogena Sensitive Skin SunBlock Lotion for my face and neck and CopperTone Sport Gel for the rest of my body.
We went out in our boat a couple of weeks ago and I was standing under the T-Top the entire time. I forgot to put sunscreen on and my arms were fried. Proof that you can become sunburned even in shade!

Are those locally available products? I realize what is locally available in HHI may not be locally available here.

Yes. I have never been in a grocery store, Wal-Mart, Target, or drugstore that did not sell them.
If you buy the Neutrogena, be warned it turns your skin a ghost white (it is a thick, white cream) until it is fully dry. Assuming your skin is dry, it will dry in a few minutes and your normal skin color will reappear.

I forgot what brand I usually use, but its pretty much anything in the pump spray. I HATE the thick white gels with a passion (bad memories from childhood, don't ask).
Actually, now that I think of it, its Banana Boat. Its probably not the best stuff money can buy, but hey, I havent gotten melanoma yet  . (its probably not good to joke about that).

I burnt like crazy today. Gotta love the first opening of the backyard pool.

I don't have a favorite. But after today I should  I have got the most funky farmers tan you have ever seen! I was wearing a tank top and I had my MP3 player strapped to my left arm 
Its just awful. Slathering on the Aloe Vera all night!

I burn so easily that just reading this thread made me blister! Or, as Woody Allen once said, "I don't tan, I stroke!"
Coopertone has a new block out called Spectra3. It is an SPF 50, non greasy waterproof that has almost no scent to it at all. It absorbs instantly and most importantly, doesn't get in my eyes when I sweat!
I also carry a bottle of their spray on block for occasional use during the day.

I use Bull Frog Quick Dry Gel SPF36. Very little smell and doesn't feel greasy.

Ditto on the Bull Frog Quick Jell. Quick to dry on greasy feel, great all day protection. This from a fair skined Scotts/Irish man.
