Question
Hello there dear expert,
I am very light skinned and as a teenager I also developed a rather strong sun allergy. I made beach holidays possible for myself again by sticking to a strict regime of never going into the sun without sun protection less than factor 50. It works in that I can stay in the sun and I avoid the allergy, but what is not so nice is that I'm ususally going away with a bunch of dark-tan gorgeous people, and the sun creams with factors 50+ usually have this almost phosphorising effect, especially at contact with water, so I don't even just look my normal extreme white but have this additional white film on me all the time which makes me look like the beach ghost...are you aware of any sun products which offer this high level of protection without having this effect? Thanks very much in advance.
Ivonne

Answer
Hi Ivonne-
Shiseido makes a great sun screen with spf 55 and the highest in PA protection. It does not look ghostly and fyi they also came out with the best SPF eye cream of 32. I LOVE IT!
Another great option is Sport Performance™ Continuous Clear Spray SPF 50 by banana boat. Banana Boat® UltraMist™ Sport Protection SPF 50 Continuous Clear Spray stays strong in the sun as long as you do with patented AvoTriplex™ technology – designed for long-lasting photostable protection that won’t break down in the sun. This any-angle spray can get to those hard-to-reach areas for complete coverage.

-  Advanced AvoTriplex™ UVA/UVB photostable protection
-  Very water and sweat resistant
-  Non-greasy
-  Oil-free
-  Rub-free
-  Also available in: SPF 15 and SPF 30
-  6 fl oz spray can
Plus its available in the drugstore!
Good Luck
amber
