The best sunscreen...ever!
Update: Hooray! It appears Walgreens does carry this now (as of late 2012)! Yay!!!
I'm very sad that Walgreens has decided not to sell this item but the best sunscreen on the planet is made in France and it's called Anthelios. Sadly, it's not inexpensive, but it's well worth the money if you have some long-term couch change to spare.
Be sure to buy the lotion version (it's thicker) and go with at least SPF 45. The other stuff is waaaaay too watery and it's very annoying to put on because it slides through your fingers before it ever gets to your bod!
If possible, go with 55 SPF that has both UVA and UVB protection.
My fave part about this stuff is the way it makes your skin glow white. Looks very radiant and protects from the sun at the same time! For anyone with a lot of melanin in their skin, I'm curious if the lightness would be a major turnoff; otherwise, it's wonderful for wee pasty Irish-heritage folks!
