Gripe about sunscreens
So in the old days, the american academy of dermatology recommended using a sunscreen with an spf of 15 or greater. My understanding was that was changed to spf of 30 or greater in recognition of the fact that people generally don't apply enough to get the rated spf. So which is it--apply as you usually would, but use a higher spf, or apply generously regardless of what spf you choose? Personally, I choose products with a higher spf and hope that I am covering myself well enough. I think I'm using a half teaspoon for my face, but I refuse to spackle my face with sunscreen every day.
It seems to me that the rated spf should reflect a reasonable application of product, not a spackling. Either the rated spf needs to be adjusted downward, or people simply need to choose a higher spf product. But we can't be expected to spackle our faces. *end rant*

@ Sarah again, wait you're fair and you can tan naturally, w/o going in for like a spray tan? Or burning from artificial or a sun tan? How do you not burn?
