It is really important to use sunblock on your face during the summer months. I am a fan of getting a tan, but the sun causes your face to get weird spots on it.

I make sure to use moisturizer with sunblock in it so my face is protected as soon as I go outside.

Just recently,a good friend of mine used some sunblock onher face. Sad to say that she developed some irritations out of it and had an itchy face after that. When seh came up tome, I advised her to apply some vitamin C liquid on her face to counter the itch caused by the allergens. Thank God, The itch went away and her face became calmed. So, watch out for sunblocks guys! It pays to read what its composed of.

not only weird spots but too much exposure of the sun can cause skin cancer...

If you go for something like a sunblock, make sure its not the cheap stuff which can be the cause of getting skin irritations. Make sure you buy a good quality sunblock and also test it on a small area of the skin, before applying it on the face and body.

I bought the spray sunblock for my daughter. I kept reapplying when we were at the beach and she was fried! I was so mad! I called the sunblock company and complained. They ended up taking it off the shelf that year, but I have seen it back on since then.

I don't use a total sunblock but I do use sun creams with a high factor, my skin is in good condition, I don't be in the sun all the time, maybe 2 weeks of the year if I go abroad on a nice holiday then I'll try to get a tan.

I am not in sun more often, but when I move in sun I use Sun creams not sun block. People with sensitive skin must be careful before buying such products and should take branded stuff.

I have very sensitive skin (I wound up in the hospital once for an allergic reaction to Lubriderm Sensitive Skin Lotion!) and I am very pale so I burn extremely easily. I tried Neutrogena's Sensitive Skin Sunblock but it sweated right off (white fluid poured off of me and I had rubbed the sunblock in completely before going outside).

I have had better luck with face sunscreens that do not bear the "sensitive skin" label, though they tend to be pricier than the sensitive skin ones.

I think a good rule to follow is to always wear sunscreen when you are going outside for a protracted period of time, even if you are just staying in the car, but to wear the lowest SPF that you need - higher SPFs tend to have a higher risk for irritation and can be a waste of money.

likewise here..i am using sunblock ..any brand that you will recommend using?

I am using sunblock too everytime i go out. They said u need to apply sunblock too even without exposing to sun. What do you think?

Sunblock is very helpful in protecting your skin from UV rays emerging from sun.
Sunblock can physically block the absorption of UV rays of your skin. Whenever you going out use it.

I think one has to try a small amount first on your skin ( for example, apply some on your arm) and watch out for irritations when trying out a new product. Usually they have those instructions at the back of the bottle.

I don't stay in the sun too often therefore I don't use sunblock. I just can't stand the way it makes my face all itchy anyway.

Yeah, everyone should use a sunblock when going out especially nowadays. It is very hot during daytime and we all know that the UV should be prevented. SPF 25 will be ok.

I've just recently started using Moisturizer that has sun block in it. The great thing is that is doesn't have that sunblock smell! I would want that on my face every day.
