I've tried a lot of different sunscreens; continuous spray as well as lotions, and no matter what ANY of them claim (dry touch etc.), they are all sticky, slimy or just not really pleasant. A friend told me about the EWG site so I decided to order the top two safest continuous spray brands. MD Solar Sciences [spf 40], and L'Oreal Sublime Sun [spf 30].
Did a side by side comparison yesterday (MD on my left side, L'Oreal on my right). Within 10 minutes or so, the MD was so dry it was like I almost didn't have any sunscreen on at all (though I was LIBERAL with the spray). The L'Oreal side kept that "bacon grease" slime effect (even though the can says right on it - "non greasy").
Caveat: if you spray the MD Solar on at the beach, in the wind, and apply to your full body, you will be lucky if you get a partial second application before the bottle is completely empty. My solution is to apply everywhere I need protection while I'm still at home. With the exception of my shoulders, which get the sunscreen rubbed off by my backpack - I don't need to re-apply anywhere - for an entire day (11 am to 6 pm) in the summer sun, and no sun gets through. That includes going into the ocean multiple times. To apply to my face I spray on my hand and rub on my face - being extra careful to get a full coating on my nose.
This stuff is absolutely worth it if you're like me and hate the greasy slimy feel of other sunscreens, and don't want to continually re-apply. Even the sand didn't stick to me like it always did before with other sunscreens!
