Going to Mexico...Need help with sunscreen!

I'm going to Mexico in a week and need suggestions for what sunscreen is the best to use with KPRF. Warm weather and the sun always does a number on my face as I'm sure you are all aware of. I'm from Wisconsin and its the middle of winter so I haven't had to think about sunscreen for a while. Your help is much appreciated.

Thank you,


Ryan

By the way, in the past I've used Coppertone's Oil Free Sensitive Skin Sunscreen and it seemed to work pretty good. Any other ideas? What do you guys currently use? I leave on Saturday so I need your help. Thanks

In the summer for everyday use on my face and arms I use the Body Shop's Vitamin E Facial Day Lotion. I like it because it's a good moisturizer as well as being a sunscreen, but it's only SPF 15 so that may not be enough protection for you in Mexico.

(PS - I only have bad kp on my arms, no kprf at all, so this is just a suggestion. Good luck with finding something that works, and enjoy your trip! )

PPS - The vitamin E lotion sunscreen is also kind of expensive. It is $15 for a 75 mL (2.5 US FL OZ) bottle. But since I only use it in the summer and on small areas (face and upper arms) cost has not been a problem for me because it takes a while to get through the bottle.
