Default Long time sunscreener

I live in deep South Texas so as you can imagine we've got a lot of sun issues. I also love being outside and for me 90 degrees is a nice balmy temp. But I'm really fair skinned and I've had several moles removed (everything came out okay), but I do agree with Eades' on sunscreen issue.

I'll continue to forgo the sunscreen for short hops in the sun, but when I'm out for long periods of time (days at the beach etc) I only apply sunscreen (highest most sweatproof, waterproof I can get) once. If I start to get warm about 4 or 5 hours after I put clothes on.

The reason why is that after sun exposure your pores open up and if you add more sunscreen whatever agents are in there will actually cause an acid type burn on my skin. So then I'm burning myself with chemicals which seems really stupid.

Love the sun and the sunscreen just know how they work for or against eachother!
