Sunblock is important. As a fair-skinned girl, I pretty much have to slather it on every 2-3 hours everywhere. Apparently, this sunblock has the best uv filters out there. I'm sure my moles will thank me later.

Dermatologists love Ombrelle: UVA & UVB protection, Parasol 1789 and Mexoryl. Apparently Canadians love it too. Skin-conscious Canadians, good for them.

I live in LA and surf a lot so a good sunscreen is required. Unless you want lizard neck like the dudes who hang out at Venice beach.

Anyway, I have various Ombrelle brand sunscreens shipped down from Canada because the Mexoryl formula in it is the most effective UVA filter available, but the FDA has not approved its sales in the USA.

It lasts pretty long in the water and isn't greasy. All around the best sunscreen I have found, and I've made a point of researching the topic pretty thoroughly.
