You said it feels slightly greasy but does it give you a greasy shine too? I love spray sunblocks! It makes my routine so easy. I cup my hands and apply it to my face too! I just dont like greasy ones for the face as I already have oily/combo skin.

I totally swear by Aloe Vera too. When we were kids my mom had an Aloe Vera plant in the garden (she may still have it now that I think about it) and she used to actually cut pieces off and rub the Aloe in its natural state on our skin when we would get sunburns. It was slimy but very cooling and soothing. It was the 80s. Mom didn’t know better than to prevent sunburns in the first place. Heck, we used to use tanning oil back then. SPF 8 was considered sunscreen. How times change. Now I’m religious about Protecting against the sun. I think I’m going to try this one since I’ll be in the sun a lot this summer.

Hi Karen,
I’m looking for a good cheap sunblock for both face and body since packing light is very important. I don’t plan on being in the water but I’m going to a part of India with both really high temp and humidity. Do you think this would be good? Thanks for the help!

I used this sunblock while vacationing in Hawaii and LOVED it! (I actually liked how it left a little bit of gleam on my gams.)hair thursday´s last blog post..The Most Dramatic Hair Thursday Yet

Hi Karen! I haven’t been here in over a year – love the changes you’ve made! I just noticed Ultra Defense the other day and now I think I’ll go ahead and try it. My worry about sunblock sprays were similar to yours, i.e., too thin/watery. Hi to the fam!
