Best Sunscreen for FL Heat, Sun & Water?

[whamma]

We have been to WDW several times but in 15 days we leave for our first summertime trip. Just wondering-- what sunscreen do you DISers swear by for this time of year????

we like Neutrogena dry touch because it dries pretty well
also, I don't get that stinging feeling on my face with Aveeno for faces so I have been using that for awhile.
the kids, we just use any kind of spray, so that they are covered well

I like the Hawaiian Tropic Sport spf 30 that I used last year. Put it on once each day for my niece and myself-neither of us burned. We didn't do much swimming-a few hours at TL twice.

We're a very fair skinned family. Blue Lizard works great for us. I like clinique for myself too. I burn very easily and I have never burned with either one of those.

We like the Neutrogena Dry Touch spf 70 or spf 80. We live in the south and have never burned using it.

DH is very fair, red head, and on one trip to FL and WDW many years ago we found Ocean Potion. This is put out by a company in FL and they are inexpensive, found it at Kmart the other day, 8 oz for $8. DH uses spf 30 and has never burned in 18 years we've been married, unlike me who wouldn't wear sunscreen and burned 2x, once in FL. They use the best anti cancer ingredient. We use it on DD6 too. Enjoy your time no matter what you get.

I would use the highest SPF number you can find

Coppertone Sport breathable sunscreen (ultra sweatproof, won't run into eyes) in SPF 30 or 50

by far the best is bullfrog. You can get really high SPF ratings. and they even have a solid stick about the size of a lip balm that you can use to touch up areas (ears, cheeks, etc.) and fits in your pocket!

Bullfrog will last even if you are in the water. (its what it was designed to do)

you take it off with soap and water.

DW and I buy the spray pump with a SPF of 45, and take the "touch up" stick with us.

when we go back to the room in the afternoon, we re-apply if we are going back out!
