Title: Does baby oil protect your head from the sun
Post by: blackbaldman19 on April 16, 2011, 10:55:08 PM: i've been using baby oil on my head and i noticed that wen i used it, i don't breakout as bad. maybe i'm seeing things but i've noticed super little tiny spots on my head that i never seen b4. so does the babyoil does the ultimate justice, or do i need to use other products. if so what?

p.s: i'm a black male ;D

Most sunscreens run when you start to perspire. I use the Banana Boat sport when I know I'm going to be out in intense heat for extended periods of time. "Sports" formula sunscreens are thicker and not as likely to run. All of them leave a white residue on the skin, though. It's not really an issue for me but I suppose it would show up more on darker skin.

Post by: Razor X on April 17, 2011, 02:09:24 PM: The HeadLube glossy doesn't offer any protection against the sun. You can probably get away with a lower SPF factor than us white boys can because darker skin takes longer to burn. Have you tried an SPF 15? That might not leave as much of a white film on your scalp.
