laura10801's Full Review: Coppertone Sport Sunscreen Continuous Spray, SPF 5...
I'm fair skinned. I can tan, but it takes a lot of careful work and I have been avoiding getting sun exposure for years after being a sun-bunny when I was a kid. At this point, my goal is, not just to avoid getting burned, I want to stay pale, so I bought Coppertone Sport Sunscreen Continuous Spray, SPF 50 with that goal in mind.
I apply this product when I am going to be in the sun for any extended period of time. I used it this weekend when I was out in the mountains by a lake and walking around a lot outside. I've used it when I am gardening. In order to get the maximum benefit from any sunscreen, you should apply it well before exposure to the sun. I was not that great about adhering to this advice, but I made some effort.
The application was very easy, one need not even shake the can, I just aimed the spray opening and pushed the button on top. The product flowed out evenly, even when I held the container upside down. I only applied this to my arms and legs and chest. I used a more gentle product on my face. For my chest, I sprayed it onto my hands and then rubbed it in. The directions on the product advised to use this technique to apply to the face.
The sunscreen dried pretty fast and did not feel at all greasy. I did not reapply it during the course of the day, but I did not appear to get any color in spite of this, so I think the product works for a good long time.
I found the fragrance when first applying the spray to be unpleasant. You are supposed to apply it in a well-ventilated room. This is very good advice, inhaling the spray, even a little bit, was very unpleasant. Unless I was outside, there appears to be no way of avoiding this, aside from holding my breath and leaving the room until the mist settled. This is just what I ended up doing.
So far, I have nothing bad to say about Coppertone Sport Sunscreen Continuous Spray, SPF 50, aside from the fume problem. It worked well at protecting me from the sun, it was easy to apply, it dried fast, it lasted a long time. Coppertone warns that some people might get a rash from this product, I have sensitive skin and have not had that problem yet.
