sunscreen

Can I use the same one I use on M? The SPF on mine is 45, but wasn't sure if there was a real or marketing difference between "kids" and adult sunscreen.

    I think kid (or at least baby) is physical sunblock v. chemical for adults.  So for kid's sensitive skin it's zinc oxide and titanium dioxide instead of chemicals which are used in regular sunblock.  Truth be told, I am reading that physical sunblock is probably better for everyone.  Neutrogena makes a 60 SPF sunblock for babies that I like as well.

    Yup. This post was helpful for me.

    OK thanks! I was actually using the wrong term above - what I have here is the Neutrogena Pure and Free sunBLOCK - not screen. :) So it looks like what I have in the bathroom is OK then. Thanks!

    Thanks for posting, Chandley. And thanks everyone for the info! I was just wondering this after an interesting and cut-short walk yesterday that involved me running from tree to tree, LOL.
