What are you all using for sunscreen now? Are you using any? Has anyone tried "Bald Guyz" products? I know they have a sunscreen.

I haven't tried a sunscreen yet. My head usually tans and doesn't burn but this weekend it burned pretty bad. I had some sunscreen but my daughter used it up.

I'm still looking for one that isn't greasy and has protection against both UVA AND UVB rays. I don't tan easily, I mostly burn.

I use King of Shaves K-24 moisturizer with SPF 24 built in. It worked very well last weekend while I was outside at my Uncle's funeral. No burn here!!

As a side note, from the pasty white boy club founder, even using sunscreen does not eliminate the possibility of getting pre cancerous or cancerous growths; it just cuts down the odds. It is VERY important that if you notice any scaling, sores that don't heal in a week or any other kind of skin anomaly to have it examined by a Doctor. I go in about twice a year and have little patches frozen off and I am very very aware of skin cancer issues.

Oh yeah, I think I've learned my lesson. I've had two spots of cancer removed from my head, one on top of the dome and one from the face.

My head's still peeling from the burn I got last weekend. Only spent 15 minutes in the sun! Unbelievable.

People don't realize how dangerous UV exposure is, irregardless of skin pigmentation. I use sunscreen and wear broad brimmed hats and still have the biannual search and destroy mission on my arms, legs and head/face. So far it's just been the arms and nothing of any major concern when found. I am becomming quite friendly with liquid nitrogen Shocked

I didn't realize 15 minutes adjusting the carb on my truck would burn my head so bad. I couldn't shave all week and then the peeling started and I tried to exfoliate and it hurt to do that. It was horrible.

That's too bad. Nice, cold aloe vera would have helped.

I've heard a lot of good things about aloe vera. I'm gonna get some.

It's a hot topic (pun intended!!) at my house today. I'm also a member of Griz's pasty white boy club. We spent the entire weekend outside. I had sunscreen on, a hat, and mostly fished in the shade...since that's where the fish seemed to be anyway. The wife, who has been going to a tanning salon (which I'm against!), kinda used sunscreen...and got burned. I tried keeping my boy greased up, but Mama let him go on a boat ride without another slathering and he got burned. Of all people, I DIDN'T get burned at all!

Logic...it's your friend!

I just heard that there is a company that makes a dry SPF spray. Anyone know what it is?

Thanks!
