I don't want sunburn but I also don't want to wear a hat- I think my head looks good and I want to even out my shadow. Any recommendations? With a buzz I usually just sprayed on on suntan lotion...should I use anything besides lotion?

I use Neutrogena spray on sunscreen. It comes in all SPF levels. It is not at all greasy. It doesn't come off with sweat - only with soap and water. It is a bit expensive but it works and it doesn't feel like you have anything on your skin at all.

So, using Neutrogena may be a good option though it's slightly expensive but it doesn't have any side effect on skin.

Right. neutrogena products are all skin "care" products. One of the reasons it is expensive is because it is high quality and the #1 recommended by dermatologists.

This is a simple form vs. function question.
The form side of the equation is how I appear to others and how much this concerns me. In that case I will do whatever I believe enhances my appearance.
The function side is simple. What works best for me according to my intentions?
Once I had a chunk of skin cancer removed from my skull I learned that that was not something I wanted to repeat, hence I wear a hat.
If I concern myself more with what I believe others will think of my appearance I will use the sunscreen. I just need to remember that the earlobes are one of the hotspots for skin cancer so when I apply my sunscreen I want to make sure I get some of it on those, too.

Thanks Buddha, I never thought about the ear lobes.
Because I am half French, I tan easily. I like my dome tan, so I get lots of sun, in small doses. I never allow myself to burn. Another advantage of shaving my head, I never used sunscreen before going sly, now I do.

I had a melanoma cut from my ear back in 2009 . For my self I now always wear a wide brim hat. Before the melanoma I used a baseball hat and sun lotion, but still had a cancer. 40 years of outside work and play took its toll. My opinion to not wear a wide brim hat is a mistake.
