SUN TAN LOTION - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Flyfisher70 · 05-31-2011, 09:54 AM

The sunscreen I like using is Copertone Sport spf 50, it works great.

nothing beats johnson and johnson baby oil for getting a deep rich tan.....keeps your skin smoth and soft also........i love it for when i head out to blacks beach for a tan line free golden bod.....

now for keeping the burn away, i just bought some spray from big lots for $4 usually $10 banana boat sport..spf 85. you obviously dont get as much as if you get the bottle of goo but it is not greassy and the application is very easy which i like out on the water. no matter what spf you get you still need to reapply every few hours.

netrogena from costco spf 70

+1 for headhunter, or sunblock designed for women is usually less oily (Prevents acne)

Agree with this. The full name we use is Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock SPF 70 with Helioplex(Broad Spectrum UVA/UVB). Julie uses it everywhere she needs it, I only use it on my face, as I go for the cheaper Coppertone Water Babies SPF 50 everywhere else. No oiliness about the Neutrogena with a slight pleasant smell about it.
The Coppertone brand version isn't that bad when it comes smell/oiliness, but I'd much rather have the Neutrogena for the face.

I have red headed daughters so sun screen is big deal in our family. I use their sun screen cause it's in my car but I have had good success with their No Add kids 50spf. I like the kids stuff becasue it's generally kind on the skin and eyes. I also wear long sleaves and pants, hat, sun glasses, and often in the summer a ninja type face and neck cover. Clothes can be hotter but they work and you don't have to remember to reaply. Mike

I don't tan on the yak often, but when I do I prefer using Uni Butter...
Taste great plus fish love it too.

What I use has been mentioned, but I wanted to rely this important piece of information: Make sure that your sunscreen is within the expiration date!

I've seen folks slather some 3-4 yr old sunscreen lotion on thinking that they will be protected from the sun, and find out at the end of the day with their new "lobster glow"

tan that the sunscreen did not work. Adding a few extra years to your largest organ in your body is not a good way to learn to check your expiration dates. Be safe - "Be prepared" .

Well when everything fails and you do have a nasty sun burn.. I found this lotion to realy help alot. My redness is almost gone no feeling as if the skin is on fire any more today. I guess by tomorrow it would be like i never got a sun burn in the first place. I used this lotion twice before.. It always helped. Once i got a very bad burn where the skin felt like its on fire. Had to take cold showers to make the pain go away and get some sleep. Started to use the lotion 2 days after and it still made a huge diffrence the same day. Highly recommend it. it works best if you use it same day you get the sun burn.
