Aloe Up sport is amazing stuff. I can burn in a fog bank, and it works all day on my pink self.

I'm a sinner, I don't use anything at all. I'm in the sun all day at work, and then when fishing. Only thing I use is Banana Boat aloe Vera jell out of the fridge at the end of the day to keep from looking like a flake factory.
Surprised I don't look like a cinder by the end of summer.

I use a SPF 70 and it is one of the CVS Pharmacy Brands. Use it every time I fish and while doing outside work.  Putting on sunscreen is the most important thing an angler should do other than catching a few fish.  As the saying goes "Sunscreen, don't leave home without it!"

I've tried a lot of different ones over the years. BullFrog works good but the very best sunblock is Neutrogena Ultimate Sport. I can spray it on in the morning before I leave the house and can be in the summer sun for 7 or 8 hours and not worry about sunburn. If I wade fish I'll reapply just to be safe. It's very expensive but worth it. 100 SPF.

I've been using the Walgreen's brand in 70 spf for the past several months. I'm in the sun a lot and have yet to come home from a day on the water with a sunburn. I usually apply it after catching bait and then again in the afternoon if I have a full day trip. I might have to give that aloeup a try.

I have been using wal marts knock off of Ccoppertone Sport SPF 30 for years and never had an issue...
I am pretty fair skinned and will apply once before getting on the water and again midday or anytime I feel my skin getting "warm"

Neutrogena makes the best I've ever used. It doesn't feel greasy and is difficult to sweat off....tried coppertone, bull frog, sports versions, etc..I use sunblock every day. This is the best stuff around. CVS makes a knockoff but it's "sweat resistant" not "sweat proof"
I use anything over 75.
