I think sunscreen's secret is in its staying power. They made, generally, to be waterproof or sweatproof.MissHannah said:Here's a question: what is the difference between a face cream or lotion that has SPF30 written on it and actual sunscreen with an SPF of 30? The face cream won't offer the same level of protection as the sunscreen will it?
I think lotion with SPF 30 is great for protecting against the sun on a day to day basis, like if you are working in an office and need to pop out for lunch, but I wouldn't trust it for prolonged sun exposure.
Granted I wouldn't trust traditional sunscreen for prolonged sun exposure without reapplying.
