I refer to myself as Nosferatu because I have no business being outside during daylight. Though not milky pale I am fair and will crisp almost instantly. During the summer I take the clothing over skin approach whenever possible. So yes, I'll be the one at the water park in ball cap, board shorts and a work shirt over my swimsuit.
I wear sunscreen year round. My go to, every single day for face is Shiseido Urban Environment Oil free UV Protector SPF 42. It comes in a 1 oz bottle and I keep one everywhere from handbag to desk to carry on. This is the one sunscreen that I have found that goes on absolutely matte and does not irritate my eyes. Pricey but well worth it and the bottle truly does last awhile if I'm only using it on my face.
For the rest of me I prefer the Shiseido (blue bottle) sunscreen. In and out of water, days spent in the sun and it hasn't let me down yet.
